Monohybrid Cross Problem Set

Problem 1: The monohybrid cross

Correct!

In pea plants, spherical seeds (S) are dominant to dented seeds (s). In a genetic cross of two plants that are heterozygous for the seed shape trait, what fraction of the offspring should have spherical seeds?

A. None

B. 1/4

C. 1/2

D. 3/4

One fourth of the offspring will be homozygous dominant (SS), one half will be heterozygous (Ss), and one fourth will be homozygous recessive (ss).

E. All
