This assignment will help you evaluate the important aspects of Mendel's two experiments. Closely observe the diagram below, which replicates data from Mendel's pea plant experiments but with two pea plants whose difference lies in their seed color. One pea plant has green seeds, and the other pea plant has yellow ones. Mendel used these two pea plants to see if he could get the same results as he got using the pea plants with purple and white flowers. Based on your knowledge of Mendelian genetics, answer the questions below.
When you get to the last screen, copy and paste your work into a blank document and then submit your work to your teacher.

What are the two alleles of the seed color trait being considered here?
In the first experiment, how does Mendel cross the pea plants?
What color seeds did Mendel get in the F1 plants?
How can you determine whether green or yellow is the dominant allele?
What does Mendel do with the F1 generation of green seed plants?
What is the genotype ratio of the F2 plants?
