Katelyn Leonard · Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Yy has yellow seeds.

Yy they are heterozygous which means that their alleles are identical.

Yellow seeds are dominant are green so the plant should be yellow in color and both alleles are present.

Yellow dominates on green that is why we say that the pea seeds are green.

Imani · Answer 2

B because it is heterozygous, meaning its alleles aren't identical, and the plant must be yellow, because yellow is dominant over green when both alleles are present.
