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
Two Tt parents are crossed. T gives yellow seeds and is dominant over t, which gives green seeds. Click the cell for an offspring that has yellow seeds and is homozygous.
- 1t × t
- 2t × T
- 3T × t
- 4T × T
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 affected son.
- 1XH × Y
- 2XH × Xh
- 3Xh × Y
- 4Xh × Xh
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?
In a population of 1000 in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, 1 in 10000 show a recessive trait. How many individuals N are expected to be homozygous dominant?
In a population of 2000 in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, 1 in 10000 show a recessive trait. How many individuals N are expected to be homozygous dominant?
Answer key
- 1. P = 0.5
- 2. T × T
- 3. Xh × Y
- 4. P = 0.0625
- 5. N = 980.1
- 6. N = 1960
