Exact model

A yellow pea seed

Probability:
75%
Odds:
3 to 1
dBan
+4.8 dBan

Three of the four equally likely combinations from two plants carrying yellow and green variants produce a yellow seed, because yellow is dominant.

Calculation

p = 3 yellow combinations / 4 combinations = 3/4

Assumptions

This Yy × Yy breeding setup uses a simple one-gene Mendelian model. Peas with other parent genes can have different chances.
