Concept explainers
The seeds in bush bean pods are each the product of an independent fertilization event. Green seed color is domi-nant to white seed color in bush beans. If a heterozygous plant with green seeds self-fertilizes, what is the probabil-ity that 6 seeds in a single pod of the progeny plant will consist of
a. 3 green and 3 white seeds?
b. all green seeds?
c. at least 1 white seed?
