Q10.
Gregor Mendel investigated genetic inheritance using pea plants.
Figure 3 shows some of the equipment used in this investigation.
Figure 3
In an investigation, Mendel crossed pea plants that produced yellow seeds (AA) with pea plants that
produced green seeds (aa).
The dominant allele is shown as A.
The Punnett square shows the genotypes of the offspring from this cross.
Explain a conclusion that can be made from the results of this cross.
