1.Easy
♂ Aa♀ AaAaAa

Two Aa parents are crossed. A gives round seeds and is dominant over a, which gives wrinkled seeds. Click the cell of the Punnett square for an offspring with wrinkled seeds.

Aa × Aa
  1. 1A × A
  2. 2A × a
  3. 3a × A
  4. 4a × a
2.Easy
♂ Rr♀ RrrRrR

Two Rr parents are crossed. R gives black fur and is dominant over r, which gives white fur. Click the cell of the Punnett square for an offspring with white fur.

Rr × Rr
  1. 1r × r
  2. 2r × R
  3. 3R × r
  4. 4R × R
3.Medium
AaBb ♀Aabb ♂ABAbaBabAbAbabab????????????????

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?

AaBb × Aabb
P =
4.Medium
AaBb ♀AaBb ♂ABAbaBabABAbaBab????????????????

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?

AA?AaAaaap (A)q (a)p (A)q (a)q² = 0.04N = 2000

In a population of 2000 in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, 4% show a recessive trait. How many individuals N are expected to be homozygous dominant?

N = 2000q² = 0.04
N =
6.Hard
AA?AaAaaap (A)q (a)p (A)q (a)q² = 0.0004N = 2000

In a population of 2000 in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, 1 in 2500 show a recessive trait. How many individuals N are expected to be homozygous dominant?

N = 2000q² = 0.0004
N =
