Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The phenotypes and their phenotypic ratios of F₁ individuals (true-breeding varieties)

if allowed to self–fertilize according to the data given.

1. GG and Gg produce green pods while gg produces yellow pods.

2. LeLe and LEle produce tall plants while lele produces dwarf plants.

3. RR and Rr produce round seeds while rr produces wrinkled seeds.

Introduction:

The phenotype is a set of characteristics that can be observed from outside and are the results of genomic level interaction with the environment. True-breeding varieties are the varieties that have purely homozygous conditions of all alleles. The homozygous condition can be defined in an organism as when all types of alleles present for a character are same, such as all dominant or all recessive alleles.
