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 white flowers?
Genetics worksheet with answers
Two Bb parents are crossed. B gives tall plants and is dominant over b, which gives short plants. Click the cell for an offspring that has tall plants 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 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 short, wrinkled seeds?
Two AaBb parents are crossed. Gene A gives black fur (dominant) or white fur; gene B gives round seeds (dominant) or wrinkled seeds. Click the one cell for an offspring that is homozygous for black fur and for round seeds.
