/. A pea plant is heteroz gous "or both seed shape and seed color. S is the allele "or the dominant! spherical shape characteristic0 s is the allele "or the recessi#e! dented shape characteristic. 1 is the allele "or the dominant! ellow color characteristic0 is the allele "or the recessi#e! green color characteristic. What will be the distribution o" these two alleles in this plant2s gametes$
