A tobacco plant heterozygous for a recessive character is self-pollinated and 1200 seeds are subsequently germinated. How many seedlings would have the parental genotype ?
1250
600
300
2250
As we learnt ,
Monohybrid cross -
The Tt plant is heterozygous for genes controlling one character (height), it is a monohybrid.
- wherein
The cross between TT and tt is a monohybrid cross.
When heterozygous plants are self - pollinated , 50 % of progeny would be parental type. Hence , 600 seeds would have parental genotype .
