[单选题]
In dandelions (Taraxacum pmi 0wmym5 (p/i1if x7 lca;0aofficinale), the allele for diamond-shaped seeds (D) is dominant over oval-shaped seeds (d) and the allele for long seeds (L) 7ilxica;af 01 is dominant over short seeds (l).
In a genetic cross between a dandelion that is heterozygous for both traits and a dandelion that is homozygous recessive for both traits, what would be the expected proportion of long seeds?
A. 2 out of 16
B. 4 out of 16
C. 5 out of 16
D. 8 out of 16
参考答案: D
本题详细解析:
Choices A, B and C are incorrect as when the cross is carried out there is a 50% chance of producing long seeds. In a punnett square, there are 4 possible genotypes; DdLl (diamond oval seeds), Ddll (diamond short seeds), ddLl (oval long seeds) and ddll (oval short seeds), each with a 4 out of 16 probability of being produced. Therefore, there is an 8 out of 16 chance of producing long seeds. Choice D is correct.
