  • Mendel's Pea Plant Genetics: Determining Pod Shape Genotypes
    Let's break down the information and figure out the possible genotypes for pod shape in pea plants:

    * Dominant Trait: Full pods (represented by "F")

    * Recessive Trait: Flat pods (represented by "f")

    Possible Genotypes:

    * FF: This genotype has two dominant alleles, resulting in full pods.

    * Ff: This genotype has one dominant allele (F) and one recessive allele (f). The dominant allele masks the recessive, so this also results in full pods.

    * ff: This genotype has two recessive alleles, resulting in flat pods.

    In summary:

    * Full pods can be produced by either the FF or Ff genotype.

    * Flat pods are only produced by the ff genotype.
