In corn, smooth kernels (K) are dominant to wrinkled kernels (k).
A farmer crosses two corn plants that are heterozygous for kernel texture.
What are the odds that the offspring will have smooth kernels? The answer

Answer 1

Answer:

In corn, smooth kernels (K) are dominant to wrinkled kernels (k).  A farmer crosses two corn plants that are heterozygous for kernel texture.  What are the odds that the offspring will have smooth kernels?

Kk x Kk = KK, Kk, Kk, and kk 3:1 genotype

75% of the offspring have smooth kernels while 25% is wrinkled
