I have a dwarf lemon tree. The leaves are turning light green, the veins are green, but the rest of the leaves are turning yellowish in color.
Healthy Lemon Tree leaves are reddish when they first appear, turn dark green below and then lighten as they mature.
Leaf yellowing can be caused by temperature fluctuations, watering issues and nutrition problems.
The links below will help you pinpoint the cause and how to correct.

My lemon tree came with 6 fully grown lemons. Since then it has had many flowers which turn into dark green baby lemons. However, after several weeks, the baby lemons start to go very pale then drop off. I water the plant regularly as the soil starts to dry out and spray it regularly with water. I use a self feed lemon plant feeder and have just re-potted it using Levingtons citrus compost to see if that helps. Please, can you advise on how I can prevent my baby lemons from dying off? I am really keen to grow some myself. There are still 5 of the remains adult lemons on the tree. Should I remove them? With thanks, Quilly

Lemon trees do not need cross-pollination in order to fruit. They need ample sunlight and warmth along with consistent care. Here is a link on what is needed for a lemon tree to fruit;

If your lemon tree is grown indoors then you will need to hand pollinate in order for it to fruit.

I'm from Punjab, India. I have few lemon trees in my home garden. The leaves of one of the lemon trees have turned yellow in the last one and a half months and they have dried and have started falling and the whole lemon tree now appears as if it has already died or is dying. I have not noticed any infections of any kind on its leaves or anywhere. The same lemon trees was laden with lemons but suddenly it has turned pale and yellow. Please advise me on this. Is it cause of the overwatering, as I was watering it almost daily cause the temperatures here in my place reaches up to 46-48 degrees Celsius in the summers, so I was watering them daily. Or it lacks some nutrients and I need to use some fertilizer for it? Please advise, I'll appreciate your help in this regard.
Leaves could be turning yellow due to temperature fluctuations, watering issues, pests, disease or nutritional deficiencies.
Closer examination of the leaves, branches and soil conditions should be done to rule out and help pinpoint the exact cause of the leaf drop.

I have a potted lemon tree that has many very small feeder roots on top of the soil. It was like that when purchased. Do those need to be covered with soil? The graft is about six inches above the soil and these extremely small feeder roots. I have transplanted the tree into another pot, but did not add soil to the top of it.
You could certainly add a small layer of potting soil to just dress the top of the soil.
Here is a link with care instructions of potted lemon trees.
