If smooth peas are dominant over wrinkled peas, the allele for smooth peas should be represented as a capital S.

If you cross a purebred smooth pea with a purebred wrinkled pea what percentage of the first generation will be smooth peas?

All the first-generation offspring will be smooth peas, as the smooth trait is dominant over the wrinkled trait in peas. This is known as a monohybrid cross involving one gene with two alleles.


What was mendel interested in and how is his work popular today?

dominant and recessive genes. to research this, he used peas and investigated the genes which determined whether a pea would be wrinkled or smooth. he was actually a mathematician and he spend ages cross breading wrinkley with straight and counting out the two different types of pea. he counted 1000 peas. approximately 250 were wrinkled and 750 were smooth, leading him to the theory that the gene for smooth pease was dominant eg. wrinkled = w smooth = W W + w = smooth W + W = smooth w + W = smooth w + w = wrinkled the 3:1 ratio hope this helps ;)


What proportion of the offspring from this cross will have smooth yellow peas?

Since smooth yellow peas are dominant traits (represented by genotypes RRYY or RRYy), all offspring from a cross between two plants with smooth yellow peas will also have smooth yellow peas. Therefore, 100% of the offspring will have this phenotype.


What do you get with 2 wrinkled pea pods?

With 2 wrinkled pea pods, you typically get peas that exhibit a wrinkled phenotype, which is often a result of a genetic trait affecting starch storage. This trait is associated with a recessive allele, meaning both parents must carry the gene for the offspring to express the wrinkled appearance. Wrinkled peas tend to have a sweeter flavor compared to their smooth counterparts due to higher sugar content. In Mendelian genetics, this illustrates basic principles of inheritance and phenotypic expression.

Wrinkled peas are recessive, smooth peas are dominant.


If smooth peas are dominant over wrinkled peas the allele for smooth peas should be represented as?

The allele for smooth peas should be represented as "S" while the allele for wrinkled peas should be represented as "s", following the convention of using uppercase letters to represent dominant alleles and lowercase letters for recessive alleles.

What pea attributes did Mendel use?

Mendel crossbred -tall & dwarf pea plants, -green & yellow peas, -purple & white flowers, -wrinkled & smooth peas. And a few other traits.


Round seed shape in peas is an example of a trait controlled by a dominant allele beacause?

Round seed shape in peas is an example of a trait controlled by a dominant allele because the presence of even one copy of the dominant allele results in the expression of the round seed shape phenotype. This means that individuals with either two dominant alleles (RR) or one dominant and one recessive allele (Rr) will have round seeds, while individuals with two recessive alleles (rr) will have wrinkled seeds.


What is the genotype for round green peas?

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.

If a pea plant that is heterozygous for round yellow peas RrYy is crossed with a pea plant that is homozygous for round peas but heterozygous for yellow peas RRYy how many different phenotypes are?

There would be four possible phenotypes: round yellow peas, round green peas, wrinkled yellow peas, and wrinkled green peas. This is due to the different combinations of alleles for seed shape (R for round, r for wrinkled) and seed color (Y for yellow, y for green) that can result from the cross.


According to Mendel a cross between two round yellow peas both with the genotype RrYy would result in mostly peas?

Both round and yellow. This is because roundness (R) and yellowness (Y) are dominant traits and would mask the recessive traits for wrinkledness and greenness. The genotype RrYy results in a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio of round yellow, round green, wrinkled yellow, and wrinkled green peas.


In pea plants the peas produced may be green or yellow with yellow being the dominant form of the allele. What would be the phenotype of a pea plant that is heterozygous for the alleles?

yellow peas
