Question

which represents the cross between parent plants if one is heterozygous and has yellow - colored pods and the other is homozygous and has green - colored pods?
○ yy yy
○ yy yy
○ yy yy
○ yy yy

Explanation:

• A heterozygous plant has two different alleles for a trait. If the trait for pod - color is considered, and we assume that the allele for yellow pods (\(Y\)) is dominant over the allele for green pods (\(y\)).
• A heterozygous plant with yellow - colored pods will have the genotype \(Yy\) (since it has one dominant allele (\(Y\)) for yellow and one recessive allele (\(y\))).
• A homozygous plant with green - colored pods will have the genotype \(yy\) (because it has two recessive alleles for the green pod trait).

Answer:

A. \(Yy\times yy\)
