Seema learned the chapter heredity and evolution in her school. She was so interested in the topic that she crossed pure breed pea plants having round-yellow seeds with wrinkled green seeds to see what happens. Seema found that only A-B type of seeds was produced in the F1 generation. Later when she crossed F1 generation pea plants having A-B type of seeds by self-pollination, then in addition to the original round yellow and wrinkled green seeds, two new varieties A-D and C-B types of seeds were also obtained.

The above cross is known as :
