In pea plants, the yellow color (Y) is typically dominant over the green color (y). If a heterozygous yellow pea plant (Yy) is crossed with a green pea plant (yy), the possible genotypes of the offspring would be 50% heterozygous yellow (Yy) and 50% homozygous green (yy). Therefore, the offspring would exhibit a 50% chance of being yellow and a 50% chance of being green.
The genotype of the offspring with yellow pods is likely homozygous dominant (YY) or heterozygous (Yy), assuming yellow pods are dominant over green. The possible genotypes of the offspring with green pods would be homozygous recessive (yy), as green is the recessive trait. If both yellow-podded parents are heterozygous (Yy), some offspring could also be yellow (YY or Yy) while others could be green (yy).
If green pea pods are dominant over yellow pea pods, all offspring from the cross will have green pea pods. This is because the dominant trait (green) will mask the recessive trait (yellow) in the heterozygous offspring. The genotype of the offspring will be heterozygous for the pod color trait.
y
if heterozygous, yes
You will need to place the genetic combination possibilities into at least two Punnett Squares where Y=dominant yellow and g=recessive green symbols are assigned . Observe the outcome of the crosses which should reflect a specific probablity of results shown as follows: YY X gg yields 100% Yg heterozygous combinations with yellow appearance and could be dominant but further experimentation is needed to confirm. Yg X gg yields 50% heterozygous offspring (yellow appearance) with 50% homozygous (green appearance). If other results are observed after these two genetic combinations then yellow is not dominant to green. Lastly comparing the results between the two crosses will help you narrow the distinction between homozygous and heterozygous characteristics. Research: Punnett Squares further if you are not familiar with its dynamics. Good luck!
When Mendel crossed pea plants with green pods with those with yellow pods, the offspring all had green pods if the green pod parent was homozygous. If the green pod parent was heterozygous, then half the offspring had green pods and half had yellow pods.
This is a basic Mendel cross where the master himself found out that yellow was the dominant color to green. Many years later we found out that there is another gene involved and that the colors have to do with chlorophyll - not just color. If a pure green is crossed to a purebred yellow, then all the offspring will be yellow. However they do carry the green gene since if these yellow offspring are self-fertilized, they will produce the standard 3/4 yellow and 1/4 green phenotypes.
it depends.if you have a homozygous mated with a heterozygous,green being dominant,you would get 50percent
This is one of the classic experiments carried out by Gregor Mendel. If you cross pure-breeding green pod plants with pure-breeding yellow pod plants the offspring (F1 generation) will all have green pods. This means that green pod is dominant and yellow pod is recessive. To explain the results, pure-breeding green pod plants must have the genotype GG (homozygous dominant) and yellow pod plants must be gg (homozygous recessive). When they are crossed the F1 offspring will receive a G allele from the green parent and a g allele from the yellow parent, so they will all have the genotype Gg ie they will be heterozygous.
There colors are yellow and green......there jerseys are green and pants yellow..because there colors are those colors.
Red, blue and green make yellow
The heterozygous genotype would be Gg. This means the individual has one dominant green allele (G) and one recessive yellow allele (g). The dominant trait (green in this case) would be expressed in the phenotype of the individual.
