pea plants yellow seed color, (GG) and round seed shape (WW) seeds are dominant traits, wh green color or (gg) wrinkled shape (ww) seeds are recessive traits. You cross a pure breeding pla with yellow wrinkled seeds to a pure breeding plant with green round seeds to generate F1s. Whe you perform a reciprocal cross you get the same results. You take an F1 male and an F1 female and generate an F2 population. Of all the F2 offspring you count 18 that have yellow wrinkled seeds. Based on this information, how many F2 offspring do you expect to display only dominant traits? a) 72 b) 54 c) 18 d) 24 e) 6

In pea plants yellow seed color, (GG) and round seed shape (WW) seeds are dominant traits, while
green color or (gg) wrinkled shape (ww) seeds are recessive traits. You cross a pure breeding plant
with yellow wrinkled seeds to a pure breeding plant with green round seeds to generate F1s. When
you perform a reciprocal cross you get the same results.
