A plant contains the alleles Gg for green pod color. It is crossed with a plant that has the alleles gg for yellow pod color. The offspring have green pods . What is the allele combination? square

Question

Answer 1

## Step1: Identify the dominant and recessive alleles### The allele

is dominant for green pod color, and

is recessive for yellow pod color.## Step2: Determine possible offspring combinations ### A plant with genotype

can produce gametes with

or

. A plant with genotype

can only produce gametes with

.## Step3: Create the Punnett square ### The combination of gametes results in the following possibilities for the offspring:

and

.## Step4: Identify the phenotype of the offspring ### The offspring with

will have green pods (dominant characteristic), and the offspring with

will have yellow pods. Since the problem states that the offspring have green pods, the allele combination must be

.
