Mention the dominant and recessive traits of two characters related with seed and one character related with flower of pea plant. Very often it is experienced that a colour-blind son is born to apparently normal parents. Show with the help of a cross how it happens.
Here are two seed-related characters commonly used in Mendel’s experiments, showing their dominant and recessive traits clearly.
| Character (Seed Trait) | Dominant Trait | Recessive Trait |
| Seed Shape | Round | Wrinkled |
| Seed Colour | Yellow | Green |
Parents (apparently normal)
Punnett Square
| XN | Y | |
| XN | XNXN (Normal daugther) |
XNY (Normal son) |
| XC | XNXC (Carrier daughter) |
XCY (Colour-blind son) |
