Seeds come in different sizes and shapes. Some are oval with a point at one end. This would be an example of an apple seed. Other seeds are helicopters which means they spin when dropped. An example of this seed is a conifer tree seed.
Mendel described two seed shapes among the pea seeds in his study: Smooth and Wrinkled.
The plant is most likely a homozygous dominant plant for seed shape, meaning it contains two dominant alleles for round seed shape (RR). This allows for consistent expression of the round seed trait in offspring.
Incomplete dominance is a trait that can result when an organism receives genes for two different forms of the same trait. In this case, neither form of the trait is fully expressed, leading to a blending of the two forms.
When two or more forms of a gene for a single trait exist, some forms may be dominant and others recessive. Dominant forms of a gene will be expressed over recessive forms in the phenotype. This is known as codominance or incomplete dominance.
Homozygous individuals have two identical alleles for a specific trait. This means they can be either homozygous dominant (two dominant alleles) or homozygous recessive (two recessive alleles). Homozygosity results in the expression of either the dominant or recessive trait.

Many organisms contain two copies of each chromosome, and generally these two chromosomes are not identical. If a particular trait, such as the shape of a pea, is determined by one particular section of a chromosome, it is possible for the two copies of the chromosome to have different instructions for the trait. If the two sections of the two chromosomes have different instructions, this is called being heterozygous.Often if an organism is heterozygous for a trait, one of the sets of instructions (called an allele) will be dominant over the other. This means that if either of the chromosomes has that dominant version of the allele, that is the set of instructions that will be followed.Examples: The gene for seed shape in pea plants exists in two forms, one form or allele for round seed shape (R) and the other for wrinkled seed shape (r). A heterozygous plant would contain the following alleles for seed shape: (Rr).Organisms have two alleles for each trait. When the alleles of a pair are heterozygous, one is dominant and the other is recessive. Using the previous example, round seed shape (R) is dominant and wrinkled seed shape (r) is recessive. Round: (RR) or (Rr), Wrinkled: (rr).
The plant is most likely a homozygous dominant plant for seed shape, meaning it contains two dominant alleles for round seed shape (RR). This allows for consistent expression of the round seed trait in offspring.
Incomplete dominance is a trait that can result when an organism receives genes for two different forms of the same trait. In this case, neither form of the trait is fully expressed, leading to a blending of the two forms.
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.
pea has many sharply ditinct traits each trait has two clear alternative forms e.gseed shap has round or wrinkled phenotype plant hieght was long or short seed colour was yellow or green Mendel called them pair of contrasting trait
two forms of the trait are both equally dominant apex
(Apex Learning) He tested seed color and shape at the same time.
The organism that has two different alleles for the same trait is called heterozygous. This also refers to a cell or an individual that has two different forms of gene.
