The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the genetic cross between the two summer squash plants with the given genotypes. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the Genotypes We have two plants: 1. Plant 1 (white fruit): Genotype WwYy 2. Plant 2 (green fruit): Genotype wwyy ### Step 2: Determine the Gametes Next, we need to determine the possible gametes that each plant can produce. - Plant 1 (WwYy) can produce the following gametes: WY, Wy, wY, wy. - Plant 2 (wwyy) can only produce one type of gamete: wy. ### Step 3: Set Up the Punnett Square Now, we can set up a Punnett square to visualize the potential offspring from the cross. | | wy | wy | |-------|------|------| | **WY**| WwYy | WwYy | | **Wy**| Wwyy | Wwyy | | **wY**| wwYy | wwYy | | **wy**| wwyy | wwyy | ### Step 4: Analyze the Offspring Now we can analyze the phenotypes of the offspring based on the genotypes: - WwYy (white fruit) - WwYy (white fruit) - Wwyy (white fruit) - Wwyy (white fruit) - wwYy (yellow fruit) - wwYy (yellow fruit) - wwyy (green fruit) - wwyy (green fruit) ### Step 5: Count the Phenotypes Now, let's count the phenotypes: - White fruits: 4 (WwYy and Wwyy) - Yellow fruits: 2 (wwYy) - Green fruits: 2 (wwyy) ### Step 6: Calculate the Percentages Now we can calculate the percentage of each phenotype: - White fruits: 4 out of 8 = 50% - Yellow fruits: 2 out of 8 = 25% - Green fruits: 2 out of 8 = 25% ### Conclusion From the analysis, we find that: - 50% of the offspring will have white fruits. - 25% of the offspring will have yellow fruits. - 25% of the offspring will have green fruits. ### Final Answer The correct statement is: **25% of the offspring will have yellow fruits.** ---
