Practice question
Question
In a diploid plant species, the T allele produces tall individuals and is completely dominant over the t allele that produces short individuals. Similarly, the W allele produces round seeds and is completely dominant over thew allele that produces wrinkled seeds (assume T and W loci not linked). If a parent with TTWW genotype is crossed to another parent with ttww genotype, the fraction of the F2 population produced by the fusion of both recombinant gametes would be . (Round-off to two decimal places.) (NAT)
Explanation
This outcome reflects Mendelian segregation, where allele distribution and recombination generate phenotypic variation. Option NAT captures this correctly because it follows segregation and linkage principles, consistent with textbook descriptions and experimental observations in genetics.
