Q. In pea plants, yellow seeds are dominant to green. If a heterozygous yellow seeded plant is crossed with a green seeded plant, what ratio of yellow and green seeded plants would you expect in $F_1$ generation ?

Solution:
Yellow (Y) seeds are dominant to green (y). So a heterozygous yellow seeded plant will have the genotype of (Yy) and a green seeded plant will have genotype of (yy). When these two plants are crossed, the F1 generation will have the ratio of yellow : green as 50 : 50. It is
