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 short, wrinkled seeds?
