Answer: A Yellow flower is a dominant trait.According to Mendel's first law if a cross is made between two different characters then the dominant character will be the character of the offspring formed.Here when a yellow flowered plant is crossed with white flowered plant then the offspring had yellow colored flower because yellow color is a dominant trait.
