Solution Summary

This solution helps with a problem involving Darwin's Theory of evolution.

Solution Preview

The dominant (shows up most often) gene or allele is represented with a capital letter, & the recessive gene with a lower case of that same letter.

For Pod Color in pea, Green (G) color is dominant over Yellow (g) color. This means that the homozygous dominant (GG) and heterozygous (Gg) condition ...
