1. In a cross between two parents (the P generation) where one is a homozygous short pea plant (tt) and the other is a homozygous tall pea plant (TT) you find that all of the offspring are tall (all the F1 are tall). What allele is dominant? How do you know? Use a Punnett square to answer. 2. If you mated two of these offspring pea plants together to make an F2 generation, what types of offspring would you see? and in what proportion? Use a Punnett square to answer.

Step 1
In this case, since all the offspring are tall when one parent is homozygous dominant (TT) and the other parent is homozygous recessive (tt), we can conclude that the dominant allele is T. Show more…

Use the Punnett square to predict the outcome of the heredity. A heterozygous tall pea plant is crossed with a homozygous short pea plant. What are the phenotypes of their F1 offspring? a. Draw the Punnett square b. What is the genotypic ratio of the offspring? c. What are the phenotypes of the offspring? d. Is there a chance that these parents will have a short pea plant offspring? Explain your answer. e. If you monohybrid cross two offspring in the F1, would you get the same outcome of offspring? Why?

In pea plants, tall (T) dominant over short (t), and round seed (R) is dominant over wrinkled seed (r). A homozygous tall plant that is also heterozygous for round seeds is crossed with a heterozygous tall plant that is also heterozygous for round seeds. Show all of your work! a. Give the genotypes of each parental plant: b. What are the possible gametes for each parental plant? Do a Punnett square to determine. c. Use a Punnett square to cross the gametes in part b to determine the expected offspring, then answer the questions below.
