Familiarity with the different plant names, their accurate identification, and their agricultural classification are important in learning the basics of crop science.

As to our hypothetical cross between parents possessing homozygous genotypes (p₁p₁ and p₂p₂), it is the dominance relation in which the heterozygote (p₁p₂) exhibits both paternal characters. The heterozygote (p₁p₂) will thus have pods each of which may be colored with patches, spots, or mosaic of green and yellow.
