Farmer Betty is famous for her winged pigs. Having wings (G) is dominant over not having wings (g). Farmer Betty mates a winged pig to one without wings (GG x gg) and all of the offspring are heterozygous (Gg). Do the heterozygous piglets have wings?

Question 7 options:

Half of them do
Yes, but just one
Yes
No


Sagot :

Yes

They all have wings because G is dominant. If there is one G it is dominant over g, and all the offspring are Gg.

In a heterozygous organism, the recessive trait is concealed by the dominant one. Option C is correct. All Heterozygous piglets have wings.

Law of inheritance:

When two pure parents are crossed, in the first generation all the offsprings will be heterozygous and show dominant character only.

In the Given scenario,

Winged pigs (G) are dominant over the non-winged pigs(g).

The cross is

(GG x gg)

In the F1 generation, all pigs are heterozygous.

Since all winged pigs are dominant over the non-winged pigs.

Therefore, Option C is correct. All Heterozygous piglets have wings.
