Which statement describes the offspring of the f1 generation when crossing a pea plant that is true breeding for green seeds with a pea plant that is true breeding for yellow seeds? a. the green trait is the dominant trait. b. the offspring will inherit one gene from each parent. c. the offspring will have both green and yellow seeds. d. each offspring will have a unique set of alleles.

The correct answer is B) The offspring will inherit one gene from each parent.

According to Mendelian genetics, green seed color of pea plant is a recessive trait ( determined by recessive allele y) and yellow seed color is a dominant trait ( determined by dominant allele Y).

The genotypes of the parental generation that is true breeding for green and yellow seed color are yy and YY respectively. When these parents are crossed, their offspring will inherit one allele from each parent.

Thus, resulting genotype of F1 generation is Yy, which shows offsprings inherit one gene from each parent.

Hence, option B) is the right answer.

the correct answer to this question is #5
