Q. Which of the following genotypes represents a pea plant with yellow pods and wrinkled seeds?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Principles of Inheritance and Variation

Solution:

In a pea plant, Green pods are dominant over yellow pods. Thus GG would be the genotype of homozygous green pod and gg would be the genotype of homozygous yellow pod. Additionally, round seeds are dominant over wrinkled seeds. RR round seeds, rr wrinkled seeds. Thus, a pea plant with yellow pods with wrinkled seeds will have genotype ggrr.
