Question

for this item, select the answers from the drop - down menus. a scientist crosses two pea plants with yellow - colored seeds and grows the offspring. the scientist records the colors of the seeds produced by the resulting offspring in a table.
seed color percent of offspring
yellow 75
green 25
how can parent plants with yellow seeds produce offspring plants with green seeds?
the gene for
and
green seeds is recessive to the gene for yellow seeds
yellow seeds is recessive to the gene for green seeds

Explanation:

In genetics, when two parents with a dominant - trait (yellow seeds) produce offspring with a recessive - trait (green seeds), it indicates that the parents are heterozygous. The dominant trait masks the recessive trait in the parents, but when the alleles combine in the offspring, the recessive trait can be expressed. Here, the green - seed trait is recessive to the yellow - seed trait.

Answer:

The gene for green seeds is recessive to the gene for yellow seeds
