In a cross between two varieties of corn, gl1gl1Ws3Ws3 (egg parent) ×Gl1Gl1ws3ws3 (pollen parent), a triploid offspring was produced with the genetic constitution Gl1Gl1gl1Ws3ws3ws3. From which parent, eggor pollen, did the 2n gamete originate? What is another possible explanation for this occurrence?

Answer:

In an ordinary cross, ggWW should give gW gamete and GGww should give Gw gamete and structure a diploid descendants of genotype GgWw . However, presently as the posterity is triploid with genotype GGgWww, we can see there are 2 G alleles and 2 w alleles, this recommends the dust parent GGww gave a diploid gamete.  

another conceivable reason for such fluctuation can be transformation. Duplication of qualities could have occurred in zygote delivering additional arrangement of chromosomes, which rendered the posterity triploid
