Question

Consider three yellow, round peas, labeled A, B, and C. Each was grown into a plant and crossed to a plant grown from a green, wrinkled pea. Exactly 100 peas derived from each cross were sorted into phenotypic classes as follows:

  1. A:  51 yellow, round 49 green, round

  2. B:  100 yellow, round

  3. C:  24 yellow, round 26 yellow, wrinkled

    25 green, round 25 green, wrinkled

What are the genotypes of plants A, B, and C? (Use gene symbols of your own choosing; be sure to define each one.)
