### Step-by-Step Text Solution: 1. **Introduction to Pea Seed Shapes**: - In pea plants, there are two distinct phenotypes for seed shape: round and wrinkled. The round shape is dominant, while the wrinkled shape is recessive. 2. **Genetic Basis**: - The genetic basis for these phenotypes lies in specific alleles of a gene responsible for seed shape. The gene for seed shape has two alleles: - **Dominant allele**: Round shape (represented as **R**) ...
