If a plant is heterozygousand is designated (BbMm)and produces two kinds of gametes either (BM)or (bm), then the possibility of (bm) gametes fertilizing either (BM) or (bm) is_________________?

Question

Accepted Answer

1/4. The plant BbMm produces four types of gametes (BM, Bm, bM, bm) in equal proportions (1/4 each). The probability of a specific gamete like 'bm' being produced is 1/4. The question asks for the possibility of this gamete fertilizing another, which implies the frequency of its production or occurrence in the pool, making 1/4 the standard genetic answer.
