Explain how the alleles were passed from parents to offspring

Dominant alleles are expressed while recessive are only expressed if both parents have recessive genes. For example, parents with the alleles DD and Dd will have offspring with children DD, DD, Dd, Dd.

The offspring received one allele from each parent. The alleles were separated during gamete formation before they were passed to the offspring. The offspring received the G allele for green pod color from one parent, and they received the g allele for yellow pod color from the other parent. Green pod color is dominant, resulting in the offspring having the green pod color.
