Solution Biology Inheritance
Apologies if my biology knowledge is rusty, but these are my thoughts:
We have a combination of YY, Yy, yY and yy.
And since Y is dominant, it will always be manifested as yellow seed other than the ‘yy’ combination which will only be the green seed.
So, ratio of yellow:green seeds should always be 3:1. Given that yellow seeds is 1500, by ratio calculations, green seed should be 1500/3 = 500 seeds.
Answer should be A. 500.
