Assume you are investigating the inheritance of stem length in pea plants. You cross-pollinate a short-stemmed plant with a long-stemmed plant. All of the offspring have long stems. Then, you let the offspring self-pollinate. Describe the stem lengths you would expect to find in the second generation of offspring.

Answer :

Answer:

75% would have long stems and 25% would have short stems.

Explanation:

Inheritance and cross-pollination.

Assuming the inheritance of the pea plant is due to the cross-pollination of the short-stemmed and a long-stemmed plant this is due to the dominance and regressive of the traits. The more the is dominance if in trait the more will be the plant growth in that direction.

Hence the answer is 75% of the dominance of long and 25% regressive of the small stem.

  • As the plant form from the gene makeups, they show the dependence in the more dominant and the less dominant gene The gene that is more such as long-stem will have longer stems.
  • This can be shown by the Punnett's square table were on the basis of the cross-pollination.
  • The second-generation offspring may be 25 % shorter than the primary generation or the reverse can be true.
