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 is heterozygous (Aa)?

Two Tt parents are crossed. T gives yellow seeds and is dominant over t, which gives green seeds. Click the cell of the Punnett square for an offspring with green seeds.
- 1T × t
- 2T × T
- 3t × t
- 4t × T
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 short, round seeds?
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, wrinkled seeds?
In a population of 2000 in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, 9% show a recessive trait. How many individuals N are expected to be homozygous dominant?
A recessive condition affects 1% of a population in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. What fraction f of the population are carriers (heterozygous)?
