Question

explain why all the offspring in the F1 generation were yellow instead of half being yellow and half green, or some other mix of the colors. Hint: Remember that Mendel coined the terms dominant and recessive.

Answer 1

Yellow is a dominant trait.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are dominant alleles and recessive ones. Say Y is a dominant allele and y is a recessive one. YY makes yellow, Yy makes yellow, and yy makes green. It takes just one dominant allele to make a phenotype (physical traits) express it. Look at the photo to help guide you. Using a punnet square you can find that both parents give a dominant allele and it only takes one.
