Question

In pea plants, yellow seed color is dominant and green seed color is recessive. What will the generations look like? Assume that Mendel’s method of crossing two true breeding parents with opposite traits is followed. Check all that apply.
The P generation has all yellow seeds.

The P generation has all green seeds.

The P generation has yellow and green seeds.

The F1 generation has yellow and green seeds.

The F1 generation has all yellow seeds.

The F2 generation has all green seeds.

The F2 generation has yellow and green seeds.

Answer 1

Subject: Pea plants

Color: Y = yellow seed g = green seed

2 true breeding parents (homogenous):  YY * gg

Phanette Square:

    Y     g

Y  YY  Yg

g  Yg   gg

50% chance of yellow and green seeds

25% chance of all yellow seeds

25% chance of all green seeds

Answer 2

Answers;

-The P generation has yellow and green seeds.

-The F1 generation has all yellow seeds.

-The F2 generation has yellow and green seeds.

Explanation;

Yellow seed color (dominant)

Green seed color (recessive)

P generation: In Mendel's experiments the parental generation.

Yellow seed color

F1 generation: In Mendel's experiments the offspring of the P generation

Yellow seed color and

Green seed color

F2 generation: In Mendel's experiments the offspring of the F1 generation
