In bean plants, green (A) is dominant to yellow fruit (a). If 2 heterozygous green fruit plants are crossed, what is the genotype % of the offspring?
75% Green and 25% yellow
25% Homo Dominant, 50% Heterozygous; 25% Homo Recessive
100 % Green
None of these
Answer explanation
When two heterozygous green fruit plants (Aa x Aa) are crossed, the offspring genotypes are 25% AA (homo dominant), 50% Aa (heterozygous), and 25% aa (homo recessive). Thus, the correct answer is 25% Homo Dominant, 50% Heterozygous; 25% Homo Recessive.

death of the organism in which they develop
genetic variation needed for a population to evolve
benefits for the individual, not for the population
Hardey-Weinberg equilibrium within a population
Answer explanation
