In a group of pea plants, some individuals have round peas and others have wrinkled peas. In this group, the gene for the pea shape trait has two alleles. The allele for round peas (E) is dominant over the allele for wrinkled peas (e).

Question

In a group of pea plants, some individuals have round peas and others have wrinkled peas. In this group, the gene for the pea shape trait has two alleles. The allele for round peas (E) is dominant over the allele for wrinkled peas (e).

The Punnett square below shows a cross between two pea plants. Consider the phenotypes of the offspring shown. Select one box that represents offspring with wrinkled peas.

Answer 1

In a group of pea plants, some individuals have round peas and others have wrinkled peas. In this group, the gene for the pea shape trait has two alleles. The allele for round peas (E) is dominant over the allele for wrinkled peas (e).

The box that represents offspring with wrinkled peas is the box in the lower right corner of the Punnett square.
