Grain colourr in wheat is determined by 3 pairs of polygenes. A cross between AABBCC x aabbcc will produce progeny in `F_(2)` in what proportion that is likely to resemble either parent.

A

None

B

Half

C

Less than 5%

D

One third

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Only two out of 64 (one with pure dominant, one with pure recessive ) resemble parents. The percentage is 2/64`xx100`.
