I NEED HELP!! In 1851, Gregor Mendel, a young monk in Europe, formed the foundation of genetics by using pea plants. In one of his experiments, Mendel crossed yellow pea seeds with green pea seeds. Much to Mendel’s surprise, all of the offspring were yellow peas.

Which of the following statements explains Mendel’s results?

A. When the two peas were crossed, the offspring received genes from both parent plants, but the genotype for yellow seed color was dominant over green seed color.

B. When the two peas were crossed, the offspring received genes from both parent plants; the phenotype for yellow peas was dominant over green pea color, which caused all the offspring to have yellow seed color.

C. When the two peas were crossed, the offspring only received the genes from the parent plant which had the genotype for yellow seed color.

B. When the two peas were crossed, the offspring only received genes from the parent plant with the phenotype for yellow seed color, which caused all the offspring to be yellow.
