a. only yellow-green seeds

b. only yellow seeds

c. 1:1 yellow seeds:green seeds

d. 1:3 green seeds:yellow seeds

You cross two pea plants both from pure breeding lines.  One has hairy leaves and the other has smooth leaves.  All the offspring have hairy leaves.  If you take one of the offspring (F1) and cross it back to smooth-leaved plant what phenotypic ratio do you expect in the next generation? Group of answer choices A. half smooth and half hairy B. all smooth C. all hairy D. 3/4 hairy and 1/4 smooth
Imagine that you are performing a cross involving seed texture in garden pea plants. You cross true-breeding round and wrinkled parents to obtain F1 offspring. Which of the following experimental results in terms of numbers of plants are closest to what you expect in the F2 progeny?a. 810 round seedsb. 810 wrinkled seedsc. 405:395 round seeds:wrinkled seedsd. 610:190 round seeds:wrinkled seeds
A tall pea plant with terminal flowers (flowers on the ends of the stems) is crossed with a short plant thathas axial flowers. All 72 offspring are tall with axial flowers. This is a dihybrid cross with the height andflower position traits showing independent assortment. a. Name the dominant and recessive alleles.  b. Give the genotypes of the parents and offspring in this cross. c. Predict the F2 offspring when the tall-axial F1's are allowed to self pollinate.
