Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So the pea color gene comes in two versions or alleles, yellow and green. To make things simpler, geneticists usually label a dominant trait with a capital letter and the recessive trait with a lowercase letter. In this case we will use Y for the yellow version and y for the green one.
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, one gene determines flower color in pea plants. Different versions of that same gene are alleles. The two different alleles here are purple flowers and white flowers.
