the heterozygous will look like green because the green is dominant allele.
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).
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.
Breaking it down:Hetero means different.Homo means same.Zygous refers to how similar two alleles are for a trait in an organism.Use:Heterozygous and homozygous are terms used to describe a cell determined on the status of its alleles for a trait.You would describe a cell as Homozygous when both alleles for a given trait are the same. (Genotype example: YY,yy)You would describe a cell as Heterozygous when both alleles for a given trait are different. (Genotype example: Yy)In use:A green sweet pea: Homozygous or Heterozygous?Taking my knowledge of sweet peas, the color green is recessive in sweet peas while the color yellow is dominant.Using your knowledge on recessive genotypes....(Hint: A pea with a genotype of Yy would be yellow... Bigger hint: To have a recessive trait you would need two alleles from a recessive trait that are the identical; genotype yy)Yep, you got it.A green sweet pea would be Homozygous.Why?Because the color green is a recessive trait in sweet peas. To have a recessive trait shown, the cell would have to have two identical alleles of that recessive trait.And what qualifies a cell as homozygous? When both alleles for a given trait are the same.BINGO!There you go.I hope this helps.~Monique G.9th gradeCA, USA
A homozygous recessive trait manifests when an organism carries two identical recessive alleles for a particular gene. This means that both copies of the gene are the same and express the recessive phenotype, which often appears when the dominant allele is absent. For example, in pea plants, if the allele for green seeds (dominant) is represented as "G" and the allele for yellow seeds (recessive) as "g," a homozygous recessive plant would have the genotype "gg" and display yellow seeds.
In pea plants, round seeds are dominant (R) over wrinkled seeds (r), and yellow seeds are also dominant (Y) over green seeds (y). A hybrid round pure yellow pea would have the genotype RrYY, where "Rr" indicates it is heterozygous for the round seed trait and "YY" indicates it is homozygous for the yellow seed trait.
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).

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.
The genotype of a plant producing green peas would be "yy," indicating that it carries two recessive alleles for yellow peas. The dominant allele for yellow peas is represented by "Y."
if for example we had a yellow and a blue flower yellow being dominant (Y) and blue being recessive (y) a homozygous organism has the phenotype of either being YY or yy and a heterozygous organism could only be Yy.
The genotype of the plant that produced yellow peas in the F1 generation would be heterozygous (Yy), with one allele for yellow (Y) and one allele for green (y) peas.
If they both are heterozygous and the recessive gene is blue it can happen
The botanist could perform test crosses between the green-pod plant and a known homozygous recessive individual. If all offspring show the dominant green pod trait, the green-pod plant is likely homozygous. If the offspring display a mix of green and yellow pods, the green-pod plant is most likely heterozygous.
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.
The phenotypes for the genotype "yellow body color is dominant to blue" would be yellow body color for individuals with at least one dominant allele for yellow (Y allele) and blue body color for individuals with two recessive alleles for blue (yy genotype).
The reason why short plants reappeared in Mendel's F2 generation of pea plants was because their short trait was heterozygous. Both parents carriedÊthat recessive gene, so they passed it on to their offspring.
The genotype for round green peas is typically represented as "RRyy," where "R" stands for the dominant allele for round shape and "y" represents the recessive allele for yellow color. In this case, the round shape is dominant over the wrinkled shape, while green color is recessive to yellow. Thus, the round green peas are homozygous for the round shape and homozygous recessive for the color trait.
