A tobacco plant heterozygous for recessive character is self-pollinated and 1200 seeds are subsequently germinated. How many seedings would have the parental genotype ?

A

1250

B

600

C

300

D

2250

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
When heterozygous plants are self-pollinated, 50 % of progeny would be parental type. Hence, 600 seeds would have parental genotype.

Assertion : Self-incompatibility is a genetic mechanism which prevents self-pollination and thereby fertilisation by inhibiting either pollen germination or pollen tube growth in the pistil. Reason : In gametophytic self-incompatibility, the incompatibility reaction is determined by the genotype of the sporophytic tissue of the plant from which the pollen is derived.

In garden pea , yellow colour of cotyledons is dominant over green and round shape of seed is dominant over wrinkled . When a plant with yellow and round seeds is crossed with a plant having yellow and wrinkled seeds , the progeny showed segregation for all the four characters .

When a pure strain of tall plants (TT) with round seeds (RR) is crossed with a pure strain of short plants (tt) with wrinkled seeds (rr), an F_(1) generation is produced. The alleles for short and wrinkled are recessive to those for tall and round, respectively. When these F_(1) plants self-pollinate, what proportion of the F_(2) generation is short with wrinkled seeds ?
