In pea plants there is a dominant allele (A) for green pods and a recessive allele (a) for yellow pods. Suppose a heterozygous plant is crossed with a plant that has yellow pods. Complete the sentences about this cross with the correct terms. 1. The phenotype of the heterozygous plant is.
2. The genotype of the heterozygous plant is.
3. The genotype of the plant with yellow pods is.
4. The genotypes of gametes produced by a heterozigous plant is.
5. The genotypes of gametes produced by a yellow plant is.
A. Green pods
B. 75% AA and 25% Aa
C. AA
D. 100% A
E. Yellow pods
F. 50%
G. 25%
H. 100% a
I. 50% A and 50% a
J. Aa
K. 0%
L. 75%
M. 75% A and 25% a

1. Green

2. Aa

3. aa

4. A and a

5. a and a

Explanation:

1. The phenotype of the heterozygous plant (Aa) would be green since the allele responsible for green color (A) is dominant over the allele responsible for yellow color (a).

2. The genotype of a heterozygous plant would be Aa. Heterozygous individuals have different alleles for the same gene.

3. The genotype of the plant with a yellow pod would be aa. Since the allele for green color (A) is dominant over the allele for yellow color (a), the yellow color can be expressed only in the absence of the (A) allele. Hence, the genotype fo yellow color has to be aa.

4. The genotypes of gametes produced by a heterozygous plant would be (A) and (a) because heterozygous individuals have two different alleles for a gene.

5. The genotypes of gametes produced by a yellow plant would be (a) and (a) because a yellow plant has the genotype (aa).
