In Mendel's breeding experiment on garden pea, the `F_2` generation yielded the offspring in a ratio of 25% which produced pure yellow pods, 50% which produced hybrid seed pods and 25% pure green pods.
(a) Which of the two colours of pods is dominant? (b) What are the phenotypes of the parents of the `F_1` generation?
