In pumpkin, the yellow color of the fruit A dominates over the white a, and the disc-shaped shape of the B fruit predominates over the spherical one. Plants with genotypes AABb and Aabb are crossed. determine the likelihood of a plant with white spherical fruits

Pumpkin AABb will have yellow disc-shaped fruits. It will produce sex cells AB and Ab.

Pumpkin Aabb will have yellow and spherical fruits and will also produce two types of germ cells – Ab and ab.

Offspring from crossing such plants will include the following options:

pumpkin with white disc-shaped fruits (AABb, AaBb) – 50%;

pumpkin with white spherical fruits (Aabb, AAbb) – 50%.

Answer: The probability of a plant with white spherical fruits is 50%.
