Assume the same cross as in question 29. How many different kinds of genotypes would occur in the F₂ generation? A) 16 B) 8 C) 9 D) 12 E) 1 (i.e., all the genotypes are identical)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Given the specific generation name (F₂), it suggests a complex breeding scheme or genetic cross that likely involves multiple genes. Without specific details on the cross from question 29, we can infer that the generation name implies a structured genetic combination, possibly involving segregation of multiple alleles at different loci. The correct answer, therefore, involves understanding that multiple genotypes are possible, but without the specifics of the cross, the exact reasoning can't be detailed. However, the choice of 9 suggests a scenario with enough complexity to produce multiple, but not an excessively large number of, genotypes, possibly through combinations of alleles at two or three loci with simple Mendelian inheritance.
