    Heterozygous means 2 different zygotes. Since Smooth kernels are dominant, Zygotes KK and Kk will be smooth and kk will be wrinkled.

    If you were to set up a Punnett Square chart like:

    K k

    K (KK) (Kk)

    k (Kk) (kk)

    the ratio for smooth to winkle would be 3 : 1

    Which Will be 75% Smooth and 25% Wrinkle
