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)?
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 has white flowers?
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 round seeds (dominant) or wrinkled seeds; gene B gives black fur (dominant) or white fur. Click the one cell for an offspring that is homozygous for round seeds and shows white fur.
