Question

If green and yellow are dominant colors for pea pods and seeds respectively, then why aren't green pea pods with yellow seeds common?

Answer 1

Answer:

The yellow seeds are dominant to green seeds. The heterozygous yellow seeded plant will have the genotype Yy and the green seeded plant will have yy.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Mendel's law of dominance states that in a heterozygote, one trait will conceal the presence of another trait for the same characteristic. Rather than both alleles contributing to a phenotype, the dominant allele will be expressed exclusively.
