In pea plants, the gene G is for green ponds and the gene y, is for yellow pods

Question

In pea plants, the gene G is for green ponds and the gene y, is for yellow pods Any gene combination with a G results in a green pod. Suppose two pea plants have the same genetic combination G _y The Punnett square shows the possible gene combinations of an offspring pea plant and the resulting pod color What percent of possible gene combinations of the offspring plant result in a yellow pod? Show how you could use a multiplication of polynomials to model the possible gene combinations of the offspring.

Explanation / Answer

So probability of getting green pods is 3x4C1 = 3/4 & probability of getting yellow pods is 4C1 = 1/4

So there is 25% of gene combination of the offspring plant result in yellow pod

P(G) = 3/4 = 75%

P(y) = 1/4 = 25%
