In pea plants, the dominant allele T gives a tall phenotype while the recessive allele t has a dwarf phenotype. Draw the Punnett square by clicking on and placing the correct capital or lowercase letter combination in the boxes. In this example, eggs and sperm can be placed on either top or side. Tt x Tt What is the genotype ratio? What is the phenotype ratio?

In pea plants, the tall allele (T) is dominant to the dwarf allele (t) and the yellow pea color allele (Y) is dominant to the green pea color allele (y). Cross TtYy with Ttyy. What would be the genotype and phenotype ratios in their offspring? (Please include the gametes produced by each parent.)

In peas, the allele for tall plants, T is dominant over the allele for short plants, t. A farmer growing pea plants for seed would like to obtain parental plant stock that is homozygous (TT) for the tall plant allele (he prefers tall plants). 1. The farmer obtains a tall pea plant. What are the two possible genotypes for this plant? 2. To figure out which of the above genotypes the tall plant is carrying, the farmer carries out a test cross between the tall plant and a pea plant with the short phenotype. What is the genotype of the short plant?
Use a Punnett square to predict the offspring in a cross between a dwarf pea plant (homozygous recessive) and a tall pea plant (heterozygous). What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring?
