If green and yellow seeds per plants are crossed and $15$ seeds are obtained calculate the probability of getting $(0,1,2,....15)$ green seeds. Green is a dominant and hybrid gene, yellow is a recessive gene. What will be sample space, event and the probability for green to be 0, 1 and so on?

Do you know how to use the chart(2x2) that is usually taught in 7th grade that is used to find the probability? If not here's a link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punnett_square Then, use the Counting Principle to find all the probabilities for all of the independent events. Hope this helped!
