Question
A pea plant pure for yellow seed colour is crossed with a pea plant pure for green seed colour. In the F1 generation all pea plants were with yellow seeds. Which law of Mendel is applicable?
Solution
A pea plant pure for yellow seed colour is crossed with a pea plant pure for green seed colour. In the F1 generation, all pea plants were with yellow seeds. Here, Mendel’s law of dominance is applicable.
