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
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)?
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?
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 an unaffected son.

In a population of 5000 in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, 1 in 400 show a recessive trait. How many individuals N are expected to be homozygous dominant?
Two AaBb parents are crossed. Gene A gives round seeds (dominant) or wrinkled seeds; gene B gives yellow seeds (dominant) or green seeds. Click the one cell for an offspring that is shows both wrinkled seeds and green seeds.
