In peas, yellow seed color (Y) is dominant to green seed color (y). Which describes an organism that has nonidentical alleles for seed color?

Answer
A
yy and has green seeds
B
YY and has yellow seeds
C
Yy and has yellow seeds
D
Yy and has green seeds

An organism with nonidentical alleles is heterozygous, meaning it has one dominant allele and one recessive allele: Yy. Since Y is dominant over y, a Yy pea plant has yellow seeds. Therefore, the correct choice is B, Yy and has yellow seeds.
