List two differences between dominant traits and recessive traits. What percentage of pea plants in the F2 generation were with yellow seeds in Mendel's cross between the pea plants having yellow (YY) and green coloured (yy) seeds ?
Solution
Dominant Traits:
(i) When both dominant and recessive traits are inherited, the dominant trait gets expressed.
(ii) A single copy of dominant trait is enough to get it expressed.
Recessive Traits:
(i) When both dominant and recessive traits are inherited, the recessive trait does not get expressed.
(ii) Both the copies of a trait should be recessive to get it expressed.
