Question
11. In his original work on the genetics of garden peas, Mendel found that yellow seed color (YY, Yy) is
dominant over green seeds (yy) and that round seed shape (RR, Rr) is dominant over shrunken seeds (rr).
Mendel crossed pure-breeding (homozygous) yellow, round-seeded plants with green, shrunken-seeded
plants.
a. What will be the genotype and phenotype of the F1 produced from such a cross?
genotype.
phenotype.
b. If the F, plants are crossed, what will be the expected phenotypic ratio of the F2 generation?

Step 1 Introduction

Sir Gregor Mendel was a priest and a teacher who did the famous hybridization experiment on garden pea plants. Mendel presented his work in a paper entitled “Experiments in plant hybridization” at the meeting of the natural history society of Brunn. Mendel gave various postulates regarding the inheritance of characters and these postulates later became the law of Mendel. The three laws given by Mendel are the law of dominance, the law of segregation, and the law of independent assortment.
