Hi,
I am having a lot of trouble with this question
In peas, the allele for full pod (C) is dominant to the allele for constricted pod (c) and the allele for round seed (W) is dominant to the one for wrinkled seed (w). The two loci assort independently. A cross is made between pea plants of unknown genotypes and unknown phenotypes. The offspring have the following ratios:
3/8 full,round
3/8 full, wrinked
1/8constricted, round
1/8 constricted, wrinkled
Determine the genotype and phenotype of each parent. Show work.
