Question

Which statement describes the offspring of the Fı generation when crossing a pea plant that is true breeding for green seeds with
a pea plant that is true breeding for yellow seeds?
The green trait is the dominant trait.
The offspring will inherit one allele from each parent.
The offspring will have both green and yellow seeds.
Each offspring will have a unique set of alleles.

Answer 1

The offspring will inherit one allele from each parent.

Explanation:

The genetic crossing experiments lead to the formation of different hybrids which has several characters unlike their parents. Here the parents are homozygous.

One of the parent is homozygous yellow with respect to seed colour. So genetic combination of the parent will be YY.

The other parent is homozygous green with respect to seed color. So genetic combination of the parent will be yy.

Now as they are crossed the offsprings will have genetic combination of Yy.

This is seen that the offsprings carry one allele from both the parents.

Answer 2

The offspring will inherit one allele from each parent
