between green/inflated pod individuals and yellow/constricted pod individuals. If a third character, one for stem length in which long-stemmed pea plants show the dominant expression and short-stemmed plants show the recessive expression, is added to the original P generation cross in the example above, the number of F2 generation offspring with green/constricted pods and short stems, for instance, equals 3/4 x 1/4 x 1/4, the predicted percentages expected if the three characters were involved in separate monohybrid crosses. 3/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 3/64, and, therefore, 3 out of 64 total possibilities would have the above combination of characters.
