In a breeding experiment with yellow and green true-breeding parents, Mendel took yellow seeds from his F2 generation, planted them, and self-pollinated the flowers to produce an F3 generation. He saw that some produced all yellow seeds, and some

produced a mix of yellow and green seeds. How can these results be explained?

What will be an ideal response?


There were two kinds of yellow plants in the F2 generation. One kind was homozygous dominant for seed color, and the other kind was heterozygous.
