Question
which statement describes the offspring of the f1 generation when crossing a pea plant that is true breeding for green seeds with a pea plant that is true breeding for yellow seeds?
the green trait is the dominant trait.
the offspring will inherit one allele from each parent.
the offspring will have both green and yellow seeds.
each offspring will have a unique set of alleles.
According to Mendelian genetics, when true - breeding plants are crossed, the offspring (F1 generation) inherit one allele from each parent. The dominant - recessive nature of the trait is not indicated here to support the green - dominant claim. The F1 generation from true - breeding parents is usually homogeneous for the trait and does not have both green and yellow seeds. Also, they do not have a unique set of alleles as they all get the same combination from the two true - breeding parents.
