In a cactus thorn size is an inherited trait. B= long thorns and b=short thorns. A pure bred long-thorn plant was crossed with a hybrid medium-thorn plant. What percent of the plants have short horns?.
A: 100%
b: 75%
c: 25%
d: 0%
e: 50%

Respuesta :

The percent of the plants that have short horns in a cross between a purebred long-thorn (BB) plant and a hybrid medium-thorn (Bb) plant is 0% (Option d). It is a case of codominance.

Aleleles and codominance

An allele is a specific gene variant, diploid organisms inherit two alleles for each gene locus.

A heterozygous individual carries two different alleles for a given gene locus.

In codominance, both alleles are equally expressed in heterozygous individuals.

In this case, the long-thorn allele will be always inherited almost one time because one parent is BB.
