In pea plants, the gene for green pod color is dominant over yellow. In terms of shape, inflated is dominant over wrinkled. If one parent was homozygous for green, inflated pods while the other parent was homozygous for yellow, wrinkled pea pods, what would be the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the first filial generation or F1? Legend: G- green-colored pod I- inflated pea pod g- yellow-colored pod i- wrinkled pea pod Questions: 1. What are the possible genotype and genotypic ratios of the offspring. 2.  what are the possible phenotype and phenotypic ratios of the offspring.

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.
