In pole beans, green pods (G) are a dominant trait, while yellow pods (g) are a recessive trait. A bean plant with a (GG) genotype is crossed with a second plant that has the (gg) genotype. If this cross produces 500 offspring, approximately how many of the offspring will have yellow pods?
0 yellow

nucleus

This black dog has the genotype of (BB) for fur color. The black dog mates and has puppies with a solid white dog. The white dog has the genotype (bb).
What is the probability that this match will produce puppies that are black?
100% black puppies
0% white

what is it called when humans breed animals that are close relatives in order to produce desired traits?
inbreeding

In pole beans, green pods (G) are a dominant trait, while yellow pods (g) are a recessive trait. A bean plant with a GG genotype is crossed with a second plant that has the gg genotype. If this cross produces 100 offspring, approximately how many of the offspring will have green pods?
100 green

what does heterozygous mean?
one capital letter one lower case...still takes on the dominant trait
