Question

the table below summarizes mendels results for the f2 generation. mendels results plant height 787 tall 277 short flower color 705 purple 224 white pod color 428 green 152 yellow pod shape 882 inflated 299 constricted seed color 6,022 yellow x green seed shape 5,474 smooth 1,850 wrinkled what number should replace the letter x in the seed color row? 18,066 3,011 207 2,001

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Mendelian ratio

Mendel's experiments showed a 3:1 ratio for dominant - to - recessive traits in the F2 generation.

Step2: Calculate for seed color

For seed color, if yellow is dominant and green is recessive, and there are 6022 yellow seeds. Let the number of green seeds be $x$. Using the 3:1 ratio, we have $\frac{6022}{x}=\frac{3}{1}$. Solving for $x$, we get $x = \frac{6022}{3}\approx2007.33\approx2001$ (rounding to the nearest whole number among the given options).
