In pea plants, flower color is determined by one gene with two alleles, with the allele coding for purple flowers (P) being dominant to the allele coding for white flowers (p). If two purple-flowered offspring resulting from a cross between homozygous dominant and white-flowered parents are crossed, what percentage of the progeny are expected to have the dominant phenotype?

In pea plants, yellow seeds (Y) are dominant to green seeds (y) and round seeds (R) are dominant to wrinkled seeds (). The genes for seed color and seed shape are on different chromosomes. Two true-breeding parents, one with yellow round peas and the other with green wrinkled peas, are crossed to produce a hybrid (heterozygous) F₁. Two F₁ individuals are crossed to give an F2; this is depicted in the Punnett square below. Place the correct genotypes in the Punnett square and the place the correct phenotypic ratios next to their appropriate phenotype on the right.

In snapdragons, red flower color (R) is incompletely dominant over white flower color (r), so that the heterozygote has pink flowers. A red snapdragon is crossed with a white snapdragon, and the F1 are intercrossed to produce F2. What is the genotype and phenotypes of the F1 and F2, along with their expected proportions? If the F1 are backcrossed to the white parent, what will be the expected genotype and phenotype of the offspring? If the F1 are backcrossed to the red parent and the resulting progeny are intercrossed, what is the expected proportions of genotypes and phenotypes in the progeny?

Consider this cross in pea plants: Tt Rr yy Aa × Tt rr Yy Aa, whereT = tall, t = dwarf, R = round, r = wrinkled, Y = yellow, y = green,A = axial, a = terminal. What is the expected phenotypic outcomeof this cross? Have one group of students solve this problem bymaking one big Punnett square, and have another group solve it bymaking four single-gene Punnett squares and using the multiplication method. Time each other to see who gets done first.
In currant moths, their Light color is sex-linked and recessive (d) to dark color (D). Question: What are the genotype and the phenotype of the parents if a certain cross yields ½ dark and ½ light colored females and all dark males? Take note that female moths are heterogametic.
Mendelian ratios are modified in crosses involving autotetraploids.Assume that one plant expresses the dominant trait greenseeds and is homozygous (WWWW). This plant is crossed to onewith white seeds that is also homozygous (wwww). If only onedominant allele is sufficient to produce green seeds, predict theF1 and F2 results of such a cross. Assume that synapsis betweenchromosome pairs is random during meiosis.
Assume that smooth seed coats are dominant over rough seed coat. If two pea plants that are both Heterozygous for seed coats are crossed, what do you expect in the offspring (the f1 generation)? Specifically, what genotypes, what phenotypes, and in what ratios? (Use S for the smooth seed coat and s for the rough seed coat.) (Again, it is helpful to write out all the possible genotypes and give the phenotype for each genotype before answering the specific question.) Be careful in writing capital S and lower case.
