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

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 tall, wrinkled 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, round seeds?

A recessive condition affects 1 in 400 of a population in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. What fraction f of the population are carriers (heterozygous)?

Two AaBb parents are crossed. Gene A gives yellow seeds (dominant) or green seeds; gene B gives tall plants (dominant) or short plants. Click the one cell for an offspring that is shows both green seeds and short plants.
