In the given case of crossing, the following would explain all the plant offspring
having a Yy genotype: The plant with a mutation has a yy genotype.
A genotype is the combination of genes that represents a specific trait that comes from both parents equally. If there are two genes "Y" and "y" where Y represents dominant allele and y represent recessive allele.
- In the presence of the dominant allele, expression of the recessive allele is masked by the dominant allele
- In the given case, Plant with a yellow flower has a YY genotype crossed with a mutated plant and give rise to offspring with Yy genotype
- neither Yy nor YY could be mutated as it has a dominant allele condition which is already known as a normal allele
Y Y
y Yy Yy
y Yy Yy
Thus, the correct explanation: The plant with a mutation has a yy genotype.
