Solution

The correct option is C Dominant
An allele is said to be dominant when it expresses the same phenotype in homozygous and heterozygous condition, while the recessive gene is the gene which is masked by the dominant gene & it is not expressed in the phenotype. So, the correct answer is "Dominant".

In a breeding experiment, a pea plant producing yellow seeds is crossed with a green-seeded pea plant. All the $F_{1}$ plants are yellow-seeded. If these $F_{1}$ plants are crossed with the green-seeded parent plant, the progeny consists of

Q. 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 F₁ generation. When F₁ 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.
