In a breeding program a cross was made between two true breeding cow-pea types: one with round seeds and the other with wrinkled seed. If roundness is dominant why wrinkleness is recessive, in the first filial generation all the seeds produced will be

a

25% wrinkled, 75% round

b

100% wrinkled

c

50% wrinkled, 50% round

d

75% wrinkled, 25% round

e

100% round

D questn says d@ d cross was made btwn 2 TRUE BREEDING COWPEA,whr R is dominant nd r is recessive..i.e RR * rr = Rr Rr Rr Rr.which means d ans is E(100%)

Please guys.. listen to justice.. This question clearly states the cow peas are true breeding, not carriers.. So it RR and rr. Therefore first filial g. will be 100% rounded

Lets asume R stands for dominant roundnes and r 4 recesive wrinklnes. Rr + Rr=RR Rr Rr and rr(d 3 wit capital letter R shows dominance while d smal letter shws recesvnes. Hence in %,75% are dominant/round while 25% is recesive/wrinkld

when we have RR as d dominant and rr as d ressessive den after whc d allili will form as a result of meiosis having R R * r r den we cross after crossing d f1 phenotype are all heterozygous round Rr. that z option (E) is correct 100%

The answer taken is very wrong. The key word here is (True). The question says 2 true breeding; round(R) and wrinkle(r). True breeding of round(RR) whle true breeding of wrinkle(rr). meanwhle, crossing it gives heterozygous all through Tt Tt Tt Tt. 100%%%%

the questn said "true breeding"which means Homozygous and the round cowpea is dorminant over wrinkled recessive cowpea ryt?lets assume dat 'R' stand 4 round and 'r' 4 wrinkled.since round is dorminant, it has 2 b written wit capital letter.therefore parents generatn=(RR) x (rr),parent gametes=(R)(R) x (r)(r),first filial generatn=(Rr) x (Rr).xo since R representn round is dorminant,al f1 generatn should b round thus 100%.Note,d cross was made btw 2 true breedn cowpeas which stands 4 homozygous.Note again dat d questn requires f1 nd nt f2 xo plz dnt confuz ursef b/coz of d ansa given coz it's wrong.tnkz.

The answer is E,R is dominant and r recesive if we cross breed RR and rr ,we get Rr,Rr,Rr,Rr.The answer is therfore 100% cause R is dominant over r

it's clearly stated in the question . True breeding means it's homozygous. since round is dominant while wrinkled is recessive. The alleles will be RR and rr.

| R | R |

r| Rr | Rr |

r | Rr | Rr |

100% round

Pls I have never understood this crossbreeding someone should pls explain in details tanks

E is the ans. Since it is f1 generation

the supposed answer is incorrect because if the first filial generation Rr and Rr cross, you are meant to have 75% round and 25% wrinkled. please check and confirm it

I go for option E also

Again a stock of round-seed pea plants dat always produces round-seed offspring when crossed is said 2 b "true breedn"it has two genes 4 roundness.these round-seed pea plant is said 2 form a pure stock.xo d ansa is wrong.

the problem here is. How do we know if the dominant round cowpea is heterozygous or homozygous
