Question

According to Mendel, a cross between two round, yellow peas (both with the genotype Rr,Yy) would result in mostly ______________ peas.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would be round and yellow seeds.

Both the parents are heterozygous for both the genes, that is, RrYy.

The phenotype of both the parents is round and yellow seeds. Thus, round and yellow are dominant over wrinkled and green traits respectively.

The cross of the same is shown in attachment below.

The cross results in the production of offsprings with four possible types of phenotypes round and yellow seeds, wrinkled and yellow seeds, round and green seeds, and wrinkled and green seeds in ration 9:3:3:1.

Thus, round and yellow seeds would be produced the most.
