In pea plants, green pods are dominant over yellow pods. Two plants with green pods are crossed. All the offspring plants are counted and pod colors recorded. It is discovered that the F1 generation consists of 123 individuals, of which, 92 have been found to have green pods and 31 were found to have yellow pods. What is the genotype of the plants in the F1 generation with yellow pods? What are the most likely genotypes of the parent plants?

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
