If a plant homozygous for liguleless and green leaves is crossed to one homozygous for non-green with ligules, predict the phenotypes and genotypes of the F₁.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The plant homozygous for liguleless and green leaves can be represented as LLGG, and the plant homozygous for non-green with ligules can be represented as llgg. When they are crossed, the F1 generation will all be heterozygous for both traits (LlGg). Therefore, the answer is C since this represents the heterozygous genotype for both the ligule and leaf color traits. None of the other choices include a heterozygous genotype for both traits.
