Meiosis in reproductive organs (testes and ovary) produce gametes. Each human cell including reproductive cells contains 23 pair of chromosomes. Meiosis separates the two chromosomes from each pair thus, each gamete receives only one copy of each chromosome. Therefore, each gamete has 23 new chromosomes, one from each of the 23 pairs. During meiosis, exchange of chromosome segment between copies of a pair of chromosomes. The exchange of chromosome segments creates new combinations of genes which enhances genetic variability within a species.

❖ Structures called spindle fibers are attached to the centromeres. Spindle fibers divide the genetic material in a cell (sister chromatids).

Answer:
Both parents have the genes for yellow peas and green peas
Explanation:
If a plant has inherited one yellow peas gene and one green peas gene, the plant will produce yellow peas because (as you mentioned) yellow peas are dominant. that means the parents are heterozygous (Cc). If both parents have the gene versions Cc, then there is a 25% chance the offspring would get the gene version cc, coding for green peas.
