When working out genetics problems in this and succeeding chapters, always assume that members of the P1 generation are homozygous, unless the information or data you are given require you to do otherwise.

Mendel crossed peas having green seeds with peas having yellow seeds. The F1 generation produced only yellow seeds. In the F2, the progeny consisted of 6022 plants with yellow seeds and 2001 plants with green seeds. Of the F2 yellow-seeded plants, 519 were self-fertilized with the following results: 166 bred true for yellow and 353 produced an F3 ratio of 3/4 yellow: 1/4 green. Explain these results by diagramming the crosses.
