Mendel found that, in his pea plants, Yellow seeds (Y) were dominant to green seeds (y) and Smooth seeds (S) were dominant to wrinkled (s). Considering this, and using the following phenotypic data of parents and offspring, determine the genotype for each of the parents in each example cross shown be sure to clearly distinguish between the upper case = Dominant allele and lower case = recessive allele in your answers hint: the best way to do this is first determine the possible genotypes for the parents, given their phenotypes, and then examine the phenotypic ratios of the offspring to choose the correct parent genotypes.
a. Parents: Yellow, wrinkled x Yellow, Smooth Offspring: 3/8 Yellow, Smooth 3/8 Yellow, wrinkled 1/8 green, Smooth 1/8 green, wrinkled
