Question

The T1 Plants showed 3:1 segregation for the selected trait and gene. When the 3 T1 plants with the target gene were selfed, which one of the following statements explain the results

• A. Two of three plants produced all the progeny plants with the gene
• B. All three plants produced all the progeny plants with the gene
• C. Only one out of 3 plants produced all the progeny plants with the gene
• D. All the three plants produced progeny plants which showed segregation for the gene

Hint:

To identify homozygous lines in transgenic breeding, researchers select multiple plants from the segregating generation, self-pollinate them individually, and screen their offspring. The lines that show no segregation (100% survival on selection media) are confirmed homozygotes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
