The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the progeny from a cross between a heterozygous round-seeded plant (Rr) and a recessive wrinkled-seeded plant (rr), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Genotypes**: - The heterozygous round-seeded plant has the genotype Rr (where R represents the dominant round seed trait and r represents the recessive wrinkled seed trait). - The recessive wrinkled-seeded plant has the genotype rr. 2. **Set Up the Punnett Square**: - Create a Punnett square to visualize the possible combinations of alleles from the parents. - The alleles from the Rr parent can be either R or r. - The alleles from the rr parent can only be r. | | r | r | |-----|-----|-----| | R | Rr | Rr | | r | rr | rr | 3. **Determine the Progeny Genotypes**: - From the Punnett square, we can see the possible genotypes of the offspring: - Rr (round seeds) - Rr (round seeds) - rr (wrinkled seeds) - rr (wrinkled seeds) 4. **Count the Progeny**: - There are a total of 4 offspring: - 2 Rr (round seeds) - 2 rr (wrinkled seeds) 5. **Calculate the Ratios**: - The ratio of round-seeded to wrinkled-seeded plants is 2:2, which simplifies to 1:1. ### Conclusion: The progeny from the cross between a heterozygous round-seeded plant (Rr) and a recessive wrinkled-seeded plant (rr) will be in the ratio of 1 round-seeded (Rr) to 1 wrinkled-seeded (rr). ### Final Answer: The progeny would be 50% round-seeded plants and 50% wrinkled-seeded plants, which is a 1:1 ratio. ---
