Mendel's laws of heredity can be used to predict the results of simple genetic crosses. For example, if 2 pea plants that are heterozygous for yellow seed color (Yy) are crossed, there is a 25% chance that their offspring will express the recessive trait for green seed color (yy).

The above example shows how govern simple genetic recombinations.

How are the reproductive cycles of a fungus and a pteridophyte similar? a)both organisms form fruiting bodies that produce diploid seeds. b)both organisms produce haploid spores and exhibit diploid and haploid stages. c)both organisms reproduce sexually when two haploid hyphae fuse. d)both organisms exhibit a diploid stage and are only able to reproduce asexually.
