Question

In garden peas, long stems are dominant to short stems, and yellow seeds are dominant to green seeds. 100 long/yellow pea plants, all of which had one short/green parent, are interbred (bred to each other). 1600 progeny result. Please answer the following questions about these progeny. a. Assuming that these two genes are unlinked, about how many long/green pea plants would you expect to find among the offspring? b. What ratio of yellow to green seed color would you expect among the offspring? c. What would you expect the overall phenotypic ratio among the 1600 offspring to be (taking into consideration both traits)?

Answer 1

Answer:

In garden peas, long stems(LL) aredominant to short stems(ll),and yellow seeds(YY) are dominant to green seeds(yy). 100 long/yellow pea plants,all of which had one short/green parent,are interbred. 1600 progeny result.
