Question

A plant can have green (G) or yellow (g) leaves. It can also have a long (K) or

short (k) stem. A scientist is preparing a Punnett square for a dihybrid cross
of a plant with a genotype GgKk. What possible gametes can the plant
produce?
O A. GK, GG, KK, kK
OB. GK, Gk
Oc. GK, Gk, gk, gk
OD. GK, gk

Answer 1

The options are incomplete, however, the question can still be answered based on general understanding. The possible gametes are:

GK, Gk, gK and gk

Step-by-step explanation:

This question involved two different genes coding for leaf color and stem length respectively. In the first gene, the allele for green color is 'G' while the allele for yellow color is 'g'. In the second gene, the allele for long stem is 'K' while the allele for short stem is 'k'.

According to this question, a scientist is preparing a Punnett square for a dihybrid cross of a plant with a genotype GgKk. Based on Mendel's law of SEGREGATION, this plant with genotype: GgKk will undergo meiosis where the alleles of each gene will separate into possible gametes as follows:

GK, Gk, gK and gk

Note that, only one allele of each gene is present in each gamete.
