Question

When Mendel crossed the pollen from a plant with green pods with a plant with yellow seed pods, all of the offspring had green seed pods. This told him that

Answer 1

Answer: This told him that the allele for a green pod is dominant to the allele for yellow pods.

Explanation: Dominant traits will express themselves even if the allele for the other trait is there. If all of the offspring were green even though they carried the allele for a yellow pod, green must be dominant.

Answer 2

When Mendel crossed the pollen from a plant with green pods with a plant with yellow seed pods, all of the offspring had green seed pods. This told him that - green seed pods were dominant over yellow seed pods.

In this case, the allele for the green color of pods be G and the allele for the yellow color of pods g

• the genotype of a true-breeding parent with the green-colored seeds is GG
• the genotype of the true-breeding parent with the yellow-colored seeds is gg

In F1 cross

GG x gg

the Genotype of offspring - Gg

The Phenotype of offspring - Green seed

• The offspring has both the allele for green and yellow seeds color but yet only green is expressed.
• This indicates that the green allele masks the expression of the yellow allele which means green seed pods were dominant over yellow seed pods.

thus, When Mendel crossed the pollen from a plant with green pods with a plant with yellow seed pods, all of the offspring had green seed pods. This told him that - green seed pods were dominant over yellow seed pods.
