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.
