A farmer crosses two watermelon plants that are heterozygous for rind color.

What are the odds that the offspring will have solid green rinds?

    There are chances of 75% solid green coloured rind in watermelons.

    Explanation:

    Dominant trait = Solid Green rind G

    Recessive trait = stripes g

    Given that both the parent plants are heterozygous so their alleles will be

    Gg Gg

    From the Punnet square

    G g

    G GG Gg

    g Gg gg

    The phenotype ratio is 3:1 (3 watermelons with the green colour rind and 1 with striped rind observed)

    Genotype ratio is 1:2:1

    From the observation, we can say that 75% of the watermelons will have solid green colour rind because G is dominant over g.
