Mendel crossed true-breeding plants bearing yellow seeds with true-breeding plants bearing green seeds. He then crossed the offspring from that mating with each other (F₁ generation). What was the phenotypic ratio among the offspring?

Mendel's experiment with pea plants showed that yellow seed color is dominant over green. Crossing F₁ generation (heterozygous yellow) results in a 3:1 phenotypic ratio of yellow to green.
