Apurebred plant that produces yellow seeds is crossed with a purebred plant that produces green seeds. the f1 plants have yellow seeds. what is the expected phenotypic ratio of seed color of the offspring of an f1 × f1 cross?

3 yellow : 1 green

Explanation:

Let yellow seed trait be represented by Y allele and green seed trait by y allele.

Purebred yellow seed plant = YY

Purebred green seed plant = yy

YY   x    yy  = Yy, Yy, Yy, Yy (all yellow)

This thus means that yellow seed trait is dominant over green seed trait.

F1  x   F1 = Yy  x   Yy, resulting in YY, Yy, Yy, yy offspring.

Since Y is dominant over y,

YY, Yy, Yy = Yellow

yy  = green

Hence, the expected phenotypic ratio of seed color of the offspring of F1 x F1 cross is 3 yellow : 1 green

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
