In pea plants, purple flowers (A) are dominant over white (a). A plant with genotype Aa is crossed with a plant with genotype aa. What is the probability P that an offspring has purple flowers?
Genetics worksheet with answers
Two Tt parents are crossed. T gives yellow seeds and is dominant over t, which gives green seeds. Click the cell for an offspring that has yellow seeds and is homozygous.

Tall (A) is dominant over short (a), and round seeds (B) over wrinkled (b). The genes are on different chromosomes. For the cross AaBb × aabb, what is the probability P that an offspring is tall, round seeds?
haemophilia is X-linked recessive (allele h). A carrier mother, XHXh, has children with an affected father, XhY. The mother's gametes run down the side. Click the cell for a carrier daughter.

Two AaBb parents are crossed. Gene A gives tall plants (dominant) or short plants; gene B gives round seeds (dominant) or wrinkled seeds. Click the one cell for an offspring that is homozygous for tall plants and for round seeds.

In a population of 1000 in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, 16% show a recessive trait. How many individuals N are expected to be homozygous dominant?
Answer key
- 1. P = 0.5
- 2. T × T
