Help please? If a corn plant has a genotype Sstt, what are the possible genetic combinations that could be present in a single grain of pollen produced by the plant? Ss, tt, St, st Ss, tt, St, ST St, st St, sT, st

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

I know for a fact its not D But i was thinking it was B.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

For Sstt , possible gametes are St , St , st , st

OpenStudy (abhisar):

So basically there are only two i.e St and st

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Have you tried making a Dihybrid Cross? That can help.

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

So it would be C...Well that makes sense... Whats a Dihybrid Cross?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

For questions like this....i'll tell you atrick

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

@Abhisar Is right. C is it. BTW, you should google it. the dihybrid cross can help you alot and its super easy to make. heres a sample picture.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ss, tt, St, st are the possible combinations

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

You just fill out the chart with the letters and it gives you all of the possibilities.

@undeadknight26

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Heres a simple one. Its easy. :)

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

hmm So in this question: In fruit flies, the gene for red eyes (R) is dominant and the gene for sepia eyes (r) is recessive. If two red-eyed heterozygous flies (Rr) mate together, what are the possible genotypes of their offspring? (Hint: You many want to complete a Punnett square.) I would just be Rr then right?

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

I guess so.

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

I remember punnett squares. They are basically the dsame as dihybrid crosses.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Separate the two characters, in the case of Sstt, write it as Ss , tt. Now take S and s at one time and write it with both the alleles of second character. For example, let's take S first, St, St Now take s, st , st
