Based on the information provided, we can determine that "Smooth shape is a dominant trait, and wrinkled shape is a recessive trait."

In pea plants, round (smooth) seeds are typically the result of a dominant allele, while wrinkled seeds are the result of a recessive allele. Therefore, if a cross between a plant with round seeds (homozygous or heterozygous for the dominant trait) and a plant with wrinkled seeds (homozygous for the recessive trait) produces offspring with round seeds, it reinforces the idea that round (smooth) is the dominant trait and wrinkled is the recessive trait.
