Question

the flowchart below shows the three generations of a cross between a pea plant that has yellow pods and a pea plant that has green pods. green pods are the dominant trait. the flowchart is missing the labels that describe the traits. in which squares should the phrase \green pods\ appear? a and d only b and e only a, c, and d only a, b, c, d, and e

Explanation:

Since green pods are the dominant trait, in a cross between a yellow - pod (recessive) and green - pod (dominant) pea plant, the first - generation offspring (C) will all have green pods as they inherit at least one dominant allele from the green - pod parent. When C is crossed further, the dominant green - pod trait will be expressed in some of the next - generation offspring (D). Also, the original green - pod parent (A) has green pods.

Answer:

C. A, C, and D only
