Question

in a group of pea plants, some individuals have yellow peas and others have green peas.
in this group, the gene for the pea color trait has two alleles. the allele for green peas (e) is recessive to the allele for yellow peas (e).
the punnett square below shows a cross between two pea plants. consider the phenotypes of the offspring shown. select one box that represents offspring with yellow peas.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Since the allele for green peas (e) is recessive to the allele for yellow peas (E), an individual must have two recessive alleles (ee) to have green peas. Offspring with at least one dominant allele (E) will have yellow peas. In the Punnett square, the genotypes EE, Ee, and Ee all have at least one E allele.

Answer:

Any of the boxes with EE, Ee, or Ee (for example, the top - left box with EE).
