In a certain plant, yellow leaves are dominant and red leaves are recessive. a plant with genotype yy and a plant with yy are crossed. if they have four offspring, how many would you predict would have red leaves?

One offspring would have red leaves.

Explanation:

Given

Yellow leaves are dominant and red leaves are recessive

Let us assume that the trait of Yellow color of a leaf be  represented by "Y"

and the trait of red color of a leaf be  represented by "y"

When two parent of genotype "Yy" are crossed with each other, the following offsprings are produced as shown in the punnet square below

Yy

YYYYy

yYyyy

Total four offpsrings are produced out of which only one has red leave as red color is a recessive trait and it will appear only when both the allele in a cell are of red color.

Thus, one offspring would have red leaves.

thinking it would be physical characteristics
