#Question id: 3540


You set up an experiment in which you breed two populations of true-breeding pea plants. The first true-breeding population has yellow round seeds and the second has green wrinkled seeds. All of the F1 plants yield yellow round seeds. When you self -fertilize the F1 the F2 generation yields a mixture of yellow round, yellow wrinkled, green round and green wrinkled seeds. What does this tell you about the alleles for seed color and shape?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology
  1. the recessive alleles are always expressed

  2. the alleles are on different chromosomes

  3. the two alleles for each character segregate during gamete production

  4. both genes are on the same chromosome
