To determine the number that should replace the letter [tex]\( x \)[/tex] in the "Seed color" row of the table, follow these steps:
1. Identify Given Data: The table indicates that there are 6,022 yellow seeds.
2. Total Seeds in F2 Generation: The number of total seeds in the F2 generation is 18,066.
3. Find Number of Green Seeds:
- Since the total number of seeds includes both green and yellow seeds, we can use this to find the number of green seeds.
- Subtract the number of yellow seeds from the total number of seeds.
[tex]\[ \text{Number of green seeds} = \text{Total seeds} - \text{Number of yellow seeds} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Number of green seeds} = 18,066 - 6,022 \][/tex]
4. Calculate the Result:
[tex]\[ \text{Number of green seeds} = 12,044 \][/tex]
Therefore, the number that should replace the letter [tex]\( x \)[/tex] in the "Seed color" row is [tex]\( 12,044 \)[/tex]. The correct answer among the given multiple choices is:
- 18,066
- 3,011
- 207
- 2,001
None of these choices match the correct number of green seeds, which is 12,044.
