pea seed color is controlled by one gene (y for yellow, y for green) and seed texture is controlled by another gene on a different chromosome (s for round, s for wrinkled). how would you write the genotype of a green wrinkled seed?

it’s meant to be capital and small for variations in gene, so seed colour should be Y = yellow and y = green

S= round + s= wrinkled

So a wrinkled green seed would be yyss
As it is recessive to be green And wrinkled, so two are needed
