Genetics worksheet with answers

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

1. 1T × T
2. 2T × t
3. 3t × T
4. 4t × t

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?

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?

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is X-linked recessive (allele d). A carrier mother, X^DX^d, has children with an affected father, X^dY. The mother's gametes run down the side. Click the cell for an affected daughter.

1. 1X^d × Y
2. 2X^d × X^d
3. 3X^D × Y
4. 4X^D × X^d

A recessive condition affects 4% of a population in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. What fraction f of the population are carriers (heterozygous)?

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