what is the difference between green split peas and yellow split peas
Split pea There are green and yellow varieties of split pea. Gregor Mendel studied the inheritance of seed color in peas; the green phenotype is recessive to the yellow one. Traditionally, the genotype of purebred yellow is "YY" and that of green is "yy", and hybrids of the two, "Yy", have a yellow (dominant) phenotype.
Genotype An example of a characteristic determined by a genotype is the petal color in a pea plant. The collection of all genetic possibilities for a single trait are called alleles; two alleles for petal color are purple and white.[4]
