QQuestion

Only one type of gamete is produced from a pea plant having genotype YyRR

Exam-ready answer 01 Mark

Answer

False

Explanation

A pea plant with genotype YyRR produces gametes through meiosis. Since Yy is heterozygous, it can produce two types of gametes: Y and y. The gene RR is homozygous dominant, so it produces only one type of gamete: R. Therefore, the plant produces two types of gametes: YR and yR.
