Question

In pea plants, peas can be green or yellow in color. Assume that green peas are dominant to yellow peas. Is it possible for two plants with green peas to produce any offspring with yellow peas?

vocabulary words to use in response: dominant allele, recessive allele, , heterozygous, genotype, phenotype

Answer 1

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Turns out they have yellow peas because the yellow version, Y, is dominant over the recessive green version, y. Y always wins out over y: When a pea plant makes seeds, only one of its two copies of the color gene goes into the seed. So if you have two green pea plants, each can only pass a green version.
