Question

a plant heterozygous for yellow pod color (yy) is crossed with a plant homozygous for green pod color (yy). which trait is dominant?
○ green pod color
○ yellow pod color
○ they are both recessive.
done ✔

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In genetics, a dominant allele is represented by a capital letter, and a recessive allele by a lowercase letter. The plant is heterozygous for yellow pod color (Yy), where Y is the allele for yellow and y for green. Since the heterozygous genotype (Yy) shows the yellow trait, yellow (represented by Y) is dominant over green (represented by y, which is recessive as seen in the homozygous green genotype yy).

Answer:

B. yellow pod color
