Question

a plant contains the alleles gg for green pod color. it is crossed with a plant that has the alleles gg for yellow pod color. the offspring have green pods. what is the allele combination? gg complete explain how the alleles were passed from parents to offspring.

Explanation:

The first parent (Gg) can pass either G or g. The second parent (gg) can only pass g. Since green is dominant (G), when the offspring gets G from the first parent and g from the second, the combination is Gg. This follows Mendelian inheritance: dominant allele (G) masks recessive (g), so Gg shows green.

Answer:

The allele combination is Gg. The Gg parent can pass G or g, the gg parent passes g. Since G (green) is dominant, inheriting G (from Gg) and g (from gg) gives Gg, expressing green pods.
