In tomato seedlings, the first leaves can be either green (filled in) or yellow (not filled in).
The colour of the leaves is controlled by one gene with two alleles. One allele is dominant and one allele is recessive. Two tomato plants were crossed. The seeds from this cross were grown. The results were obtained in the picture.
Calculate the ratio of the two phenotypes.

Plant breeders wanted to produce a better variety of tomato by selective breeding. Two plants, of the varieties Tangella and Piranto, were crossed. Information about each variety of tomato is shown in the table.
Which features of Piranto would the plant breeders wish to see in the new breed of tomato?
