generationssporophyte
Solution
In which generation is a recessive deleterious allele MOST likely to negatively affect the fitness
of the individual expressing it?
Affects gametophytic generation as the gametes have single copy of the gene which leads to the
expression of the existing gene.
yes here is the explanation :
You are aware that there are two phases in life cycle the gametophytic and the sporophytic
generations. The gametophyte has haploid number or n number of chromosomes which means
only half of the number in contrast to the sporophyte.
sporophyte is diploid which means it has two sets of chromosomes represented by 2n. Of these
two sets one comes from maternal and other from paternal which again means that chromosomes
are paired or homologus.
Then coming to the question it says the allele is recessive which means can express only in
absence of a dominant counterpart and should be in double dose if it is sporophyte.if it is present
in heterozygous condition the allele cannot express itself.
since the gametophyte has n number of chromosomes if the deleterious allele is expressed it will
affect the fitness of the population.
