What is an organism that is heterozygous for two traits?

An organism that is heterozygous for two traits means that it contains both the dominant allele and the recessive allele for both of the traits in question. For example, take a plant that produces peas. The gene that produces yellow seeds (denoted Y) is dominant, the gene for green seeds (y) is recessive. The gene that produces round seeds is dominant (R), the gene for wrinkled seeds (r) is recessive. So if this organism was heterozygous for both traits its genotype would be: Yy/ Rr Which means it has the allele for yellow seeds and the allele for green seeds (trait one), and also has the allele for round seeds and the allele for wrinkled seeds (trait two). Its phenotype (the traits it displays) will be yellow round seeds, as these are the dominant traits.


If a pea plant has a recessive allele for green peas it will produce?

green peas if it does not also have a dominant allele for yellow peas.


Why a plant with yellow pods can never be a hybrid?

Yellow pods are a recessive trait and for this type of trait to show in the phenotype, both alleles have to be recessive. If there was a recessive allele (yellow) and a dominant allele(green) as it shows in hybrid pods, then the dominant allele would be the one shown and the pod would be green.


If a pea plant has a recessive allele for green peas what will it produce?

A recessive allele means that the gene codes for an nonfunctional enzyme. If the pea plant has 2 recessive allele for the green pea gene, that means that the green pigment will not be deposited on the peas, as the enzyme is nonfunctional. The result would be yellow coloured peas.If the pea plant has one recessive and one dominant allele for the green pea pigment, then it will result in a half functional enzyme, which is sufficient for the green pigment to be deposited.

If Genotype of a G as dominate green and g for recessive yellow what would the heterozygous look like?

the heterozygous will look like green because the green is dominant allele.


In a genetic class pure green and yellow pod cross what would be the genotype of f1?

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.
