Question 5 • FL-2002070-M/J Comprehensive Science 2

When Mendel crossed a plant with green peas and a plant with yellow peas, what color peas did the offspring have?

Answer
A
All offspring had green peas.
B
All offspring had yellow peas.
C
Half of the offspring had yellow peas and half had green peas.
D
Some of the offspring had yellow peas and some had yellow-green peas.

Explanation

In Mendel’s classic pea experiments, yellow pea color was dominant over green. When he crossed true-breeding yellow-pea and green-pea plants, each offspring inherited a yellow-color version of the trait, so all the offspring had yellow peas.
