Question

Help me, please

In pea plants, yellow pod color is dominant over green. A monohybrid cross between a plant that is heterozygous for the trait and a plant with green seed pods. Predict the phenotypic and genotypic outcomes of the cross.

Answer 1

You first have to figure out the genotypes of the parents. From the question, we can infer that one of the parent is hetero_zygous while the other is homo_zygous recessive.

Crossing them over will produce a punnet square that looks something like this:

A a

a Aa aa

The genotypic ratio would be:

Aa : aa

50 : 50

The phenotypic ratio would be:

yellow : green

50 : 50

It doesn't allow me to use those words because apparently, it's inappropriate. Smh. It's literally biology terms.
