Question

A student is doing a genetics experiment on beetles. A pure green beetle is crossed with a pure brown beetle. The student repeats this experiment ten more times. Every time the student performs this cross, all of the offspring is green. If two offspring of the pure green beetle and pure brown beetle were crossed, what is the probability that their offspring would be green colored?

Answer 1

The correct answer is : All of their offspring i.e. F1 generation would be green colored (Phenotype) with Genotype = Gg.

According to Mendel's Law Of Inheritance , Because every beetle child has a green phenotype, the gene for green color dominates over the gene for brown color.

According to Mendel's Law Of Inheritance ,

• The genotype of  pure green beetle = GG
• The genotype of  pure  brown beetle = gg

A pure green beetle is crossed with a pure brown beetle

GG × gg

The offspring will have genotype = Gg. i.e. F1 generation.

Therefore all the offspring would be of green colored (Phenotype) with Genotype = Gg.
