“A homozygous round seed pea plant (RR) is crossed with a homozygous wrinkled seed pea plant (rr). Create a Punnett square to illustrate the possible genotypes of the offspring and determine the probability of obtaining round seeds. If a heterozygous yellow seed pea plant (Yy) is crossed with a homozygous green seed pea plant (yy), create a Punnett square to show the possible genotypes of the offspring and calculate the probability of obtaining a yellow seed.”
