Question 7 • FL-2000310-Biology 1 Sem 1 - Flex

A plant heterozygous for yellow pod color (Yy) is crossed with a plant homozygous for green pod color (yy). Which trait is dominant?

Answer
A
green pod color
B
yellow pod color
C
They are both recessive.

Explanation

The heterozygous plant is Yy, so it has one yellow allele (Y) and one green allele (y). Since its pod color is described as yellow, Y masks y when both alleles are present. Therefore, yellow pod color is dominant.
