Explanation:
Dominant alleles are always expressed when they are present. Recessive alleles are masked by dominant alleles.
Therefore, two copies of a recessive allele are required to show the recessive trait. Either one or two copies of a dominant allele produces the dominant trait.
Therefore, for dominant brown eyes, BB or Bb gives brown eyes, bb gives blue eyes.
For recessive long tails, tt gives short tails, TT and Tt gibe long tails
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.
