Question

Mendel mated plants that produced only round seeds and to those that produced only wrinkled seeds. in the next generation, all the pea plants produced only round seeds. which term describes how the round-seed allele is inherited? see section 14.2 (page 293) .

Answer 1

The round-seed allele would be termed as dominant. A dominant allele is always expressed. The non-dominant allele, or the recessive allele is overshadowed by the dominant. So in this case, the recessive allele would be the wrinkled-seed allele and the dominant one is the round-seed allele.
