Dominant alleles are expressed in offspring even when a recessive allele is present. Since two yellow - squash crosses always produce yellow offspring, yellow is likely dominant. When two green squash are crossed and sometimes yellow offspring result, it implies that green squash can carry a recessive yellow allele.
