In Mendel's experiments with garden pea, round seed shape (RR) was dominant over wrinkled seeds (rr), yellow cotyledon (YY) was dominant over green cotyledon (yy). What are the expected phenotypes in the F2 generation of the cross RRYY x rryy?

  • Only round seeds with green cotyledons

  • Only wrinkled seeds with yellow cotyledons

  • Only wrinkled seeds with green cotyledons

  • Only wrinkled seeds with green cotyledons


D.

Only wrinkled seeds with green cotyledons

When a cross (dilhybrid) is made between plants bearing round yellow (RRYY) and wrinkled green (rryy) seeds, all the plants in F1 generation are with yellow round seeds (showing the genotype RrYy). The phenotype in F2 will be as follows:
