In pea plants, seed shape and seed color are controlled by genes located on different chromosomes. Seeds may be round (R) or wrinkled (r), with the allele for round seeds being dominant. Alleles for seed color are yellow and green, with the green allele (y) recessive to the yellow (Y) allele. If you cross an individual that is homozygous round and yellow with an individual that is homozygous for wrinkled and green, what is the genotype of the F1 individuals?

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
