Detailed explanation-1: -a pea plant has a yellow pod phenotype, its genotype may either be GG or Gg. phenotype (green pods), then the individual parent having the dominant phenotype must be heterozygous.
Detailed explanation-2: -Typically, we call them either normal or wild-type alleles, or abnormal, or mutant alleles.
Detailed explanation-3: -First Generation We’ll use letters to represent alleles. Capital “A” will represent the yellow pea allele and lowercase “a” will represent the green pea allele. The yellow pea phenotype has a genotype of AA. The green pea phenotype has a genotype of aa.
Detailed explanation-4: -A Punnett square can be used to predict genotypes (allele combinations) and phenotypes (observable traits) of offspring from genetic crosses. A test cross can be used to determine whether an organism with a dominant phenotype is homozygous or heterozygous.
