The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
In pea plants, yellow pod color is recessive and green pod color is dominant. A heterozygous plant produced offspring with a plant that is homozygous dominant for the trait. What is a percent chance that the pea plant will have green pods.
Answer:
100%
Explanation:
Let's assume that the allele "G" gives green pod color while the allele "g" imparts yellow color to the pods. The genotype of the heterozygous plant would be "Gg". A cross between heterozygous green plant (Gg) with homozygous dominant (GG) plant would produce progeny in following ratio=
Gg x GG= 1/2 GG (green): 1/2 Gg (green)
Therefore, there are 100% chances that the progeny plant will have green pods.
