Solution

Dear Student,

Pea plants with Round and green seeds (Ry) are crossed with wrinkled and yellow seed (rY) bearing pea plants. When they are crossed, the F1 generation obtained Round yellow :
Ry X rY

RrYy(Round Yellow)

We conclude that the traits are inherited independently. The traits which expresses itself are called dominant trait and the other trait which is unable to express is called recessive trait.

Mendel first crossed pure-bred pea plants having round -yellow seeds with pure-bred pea plants having wrinkled -green seeds and found that only round- yellow seeds were produced in the $F_{1}$ generation. When $F_{1}$ generation pea plants having round-yellow seeds were cross-bred by self-pollination, then peas having round-yellow seeds, round green seeds, wrinkled-yellow seeds and wrinkled -green seeds were produced. Mendel collected a total of 2160 seeds.
