yellow and dominant

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel has stated that a gene comes with two alleles. According to his law of dominance, one of the alleles called DOMINANT allele is capable of masking the phenotypic expression of another allele called RECESSIVE allele.

In this question involving a seed color gene, which has two alleles Y and y. Y, which represents the dominant allele codes for the YELLOW trait while y, which represents the recessive allele codes for the GREEN trait. Therefore, a plant with Yy will have YELLOW SEEDS because the dominant allele (Y) is present.
