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?

Step 1
This is simply the number of heterozygous plants divided by the number of homozygous plants. In this case, there are 2 heterozygous plants and 1 homozygous plant, so the genotypic ratio is 2/1. Show more…

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?
Joanna Q.
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.
