A pea plant that is heterozygous for the flower color gene makes gametes.What is the probability that a specific gamete contains the recessive allele for flower color?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a heterozygous pea plant for flower color, the genotype is represented as one dominant allele and one recessive allele (e.g., Aa). When gametes are formed, each gamete receives one allele. Therefore, the probability that a specific gamete will receive the recessive allele is 50%.
