Detailed explanation-1: -The cross between heterozygous yellow seeded plant and green seeded plant will produce 50% yellow seeded plants and 50% green seeded plants.
Detailed explanation-2: -In this example, 100% of the offspring will likely be heterozygous (YG). Since the Y (yellow) allele is dominant over the G (green) allele for pea plants, 100% of the YG offspring will have a yellow phenotype, as Mendel observed in his breeding experiments.
Detailed explanation-3: -The probabilities of different offspring genotypes and phenotypes can be determined using a Punnett square. A dihybrid cross results in a roughly 9:3:3:1 ratio of offspring phenotypes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Of these three genotypes, only bb, the homozygous recessive genotype, will produce a phenotype of blue eyes. The heterozygous genotype and the homozygous dominant genotype both will produce brown eyes, though only the heterozygous genotype can pass on the gene for blue eyes.
