Question

In pea plants, the allele for round seeds is dominant to the allele for wrinkled seeds. At another gene locus, the allele for yellow seeds is dominant to the allele for green seeds. These two allele pairs assort independently. If a plant breeder crosses two plants that are both heterozygous at both gene loci, what percentage of the plants that produce round seeds will also produce yellow seeds? ( Enter the number only without the percent sign. For example, enter 100% as 100 and enter 12.5% as 12.5 )
Green seeds =%?
Yellow seeds =%?

Explanation / Answer

Green seeds =25
Yellow seeds = 56.25
