Question

In which squares should the phrase “Yellow pods” appear?

Answer 1

The given question is incomplete however the correct question and the flow chart is related to the question as follows:

The flowchart below shows the three generations of a cross between a pea plant that has yellow pods and a pea plant that has green pods. yellow pods are the dominant trait. The flowchart is missing the labels that describe the traits.

In which squares should the phrase “yellow pods” appear?

1. A and D

2.B and E

3. A, C, and D

4. A, B, C, D, and E

Answer:

The correct answer is: 3. A, C, and D

Explanation:

According to Mendel’s laws of inheritance, when a plant with the dominant trait is crossed with a plant with a recessive trait, as a result, the dominant phenotype appears in all the F1 offspring. On Self cross F1 offspring, produces F2 offspring with dominant and recessive traits.

In the given scenario, pea plant with ‘yellow pods’ are dominant and pea plant with ‘green pods’ is recessive.

Therefore, when pea plant with yellow pods is crossed with the pea plant with the green pod, the F1 offspring (C) produced are with yellow pods.

Thus, parent (A) is with yellow pods and F2 offspring (D) is with yellow pods.
