  1. Tallness and yellow cotyledons are dominant in pea plants over dwarf and green ones. A cross between double homozygous tall pea plant with green cotyledons (TTyy) and pure dwarf plant with yellow cotyledons (ttYY) will give all tall progeny with yellow cotyledon (TtYy). Cross of tall plant with yellow cotyledon (TtYy) with pure dwarf plant with green cotyledons (ttyy) gives four phenotypes. Correct answer is C.
