Question

1) Sometimes there can be more than one desirable gene. You are going to give two plants of your favorite tomato variety to a friend, and you want both of them to have the desirable allele at each of two genes. At gene one, you know the parents are both heterozygotes; at gene two, the mother is heterozygous and the father is homozygous for the desirable allele. What is the probability of any given seed being heterozygous for both genes? Report as a proportion, not percentage, e.g., 0.1, NOT 10%.

Explanation / Answer

About 1/4th of the seeds will be heterrozygous for both the genes.
