Considering pea plants like the ones Mendel studied, you will be crossing plants based on two characters: seed pod color and seed shape. • Seed pod color: yellow seed pods are dominant and green seed pods are recessive. • Seed shape: round seeds are dominant and wrinkled seeds are recessive. If a homozygous yellow, heterozygous round seed parent is crossed with a green, heterozygous round seed parent, what would be the predicted phenotypic ratio of their offspring? Define the letters for each trait. Set up the problem. Complete the Punnett Square and indicate your answer, showing all of your work.

I don't understand how to complete the punnet square for the assignment in the picture. Can you help me to understand the creation of the punnet square and how to complete this question?

Considering pea plants like the ones Mendel
studied, you will be crossing plants based on
two characters: seed pod color and seed
shape.
• Seed pod color: yellow seed pods are
dominant and green seed pods are
recessive.
• Seed shape: round seeds are dominant
and wrinkled seeds are recessive.
If a homozygous yellow, heterozygous round
seed parent is crossed with a green,
heterozygous round seed parent, what would
be the predicted phenotypic ratio of their
offspring?
Define the letters for each trait.
