Question 4 • Basic Biology S2

Yellow seed color is dominant over green. What is the phenotype of an offspring that is Yy?

Answer
y
yellow
g
green
b
both yellow and green
n
neither yellow nor green

Explanation

The Y allele for yellow seeds is dominant, so it determines the phenotype when present. An offspring with genotype Yy has one dominant Y allele and will have yellow seeds. Green seeds appear only when both alleles are recessive (yy).
