If a pea plant having heterozygous condition for yellow seed colour is crossed with a pea plant having green seed colour, we obtain $$54$$ plants having yellow seed colour. Calculate the probability of having plants with green seed colour from this cross.

Question

Infinity Learn · Accepted Answer

When a pea plant having heterozygous condition for yellow seed colour (Yy) is crossed with a pea plant having green seed colour (yy).The ratio of obtaining yellow seeded plant to green seeded plant in the progeny is $$1$$:$$1$$. Therefore if the number of pea plant with yellow seed colour is $$54$$ then almost the same number is obtained for green seeded plant.

If a pea plant having heterozygous condition for yellow seed colour is crossed with a pea plant having green seed colour, we obtain 54 plants having yellow seed colour. Calculate the probability of having plants with green seed colour from this cross.
