A bоtаnist hаs аcquired a grоup оf sweet pea plants. All of the plants have yellow pea pods (the recessive trait), except for one, which has green pea pods (the dominant trait). Pea pod color is a trait caused by a single gene. In this tutorial, you will determine how the botanist can identify the genotype of the green pea pod, and how this relates to Mendel’s laws and meiosis. How could the botanist best determine whether the genotype of the green-pod plant is homozygous or heterozygous?
