0%
If you mate pea plants with the following genotype: TtYy x TtYy where alleles are T=Tall (dominant), t=short, Y=yellow seeds (dominant), y=green seeds, what ratio of short plants with green seeds would you expect?
1/16
Using mendel's flower color (purple is dominant, white is recessive), if a heterozygous plant (P/p) is crossed with a homozygous recessive (p/p), what is the probability that the first AND the second offspring will have purple flowers
1/4
in four o'clock plants, red flower color is dominant to white flower color. However, heterozygous plants have a pink color. If a pink-flowered plant is crossed with another pink-flowered plant, what will be the phenotypic ratios of their offspring?
1/4 red, 1/2 pink, 1/4 white
