Question

A series of experiments shows that oil content in a diploid grain is influenced by four genes (a through d) with additive alleles. A homozygous
dominant strain produces 30% oil content; A homozygous recessive plant has the lowest production at 0%. A plant of unknown genotype has
an oil content of 22.5%. What is a possible genotype for this plant (+ = additive alleles)?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Introduction :-

Diploid refers to a type of organism or cell that contains two sets of chromosomes. In humans and most animals, somatic (non-reproductive) cells are diploid, meaning they have two copies of each chromosome, one inherited from each parent
