Plants+have+Genes,+Too!!

media type="custom" key="10933628" Question: How can we use the vocabulary terms phenotype, genotype, dominant and recessive to explain the results of our experiment?

This experiment involved growing pea plant seeds and creating an offspring. The seeds in this experiment started off being brown, but ended up being yellow and green once the plants actually started to grow because that is the Phenotype from the parents. They turned green and yellow because that is the Genotype from the parents, and their DNA was passed on to the baby seeds. Green was the more dominant plant color in this experiment, while yellow was the more recessive one. I think green was the more dominant color because the parents genes that were passed on was having a phenotype of green.
