Since the round seed gene is the dominant gene, it follows that, a cross between a round seed plant and a wrinkled seed plant will lead to only round seed offspring.
<h3>What is genetics?</h3>
Genetics is the science that studies the patterns of inheritance. The unit of inheritance located in the chromosome is called the gene.
Since the gene for having round seeds is dominant over the gene for having wrinkeled seeds, a cross between a round seed plant and a wrinkled seed plant will lead to only round seed offspring.
A frame-shift mutation would occur. This is because a
deletion will cause a change in codon sequence from the point of mutation to
the end of the mRNA. If the mutation is
closer to the start of the mRNA, the larger the effect of the mutation on the
translated protein.
