What does heterozygous mean?

• An organism that has the same genes for a trait (TT or tt)
• An organism that has different genes for a trait (Tt)
• When neither gene is fully dominant; offspring is a mixture of both
• the different forms of a trait (hair color--> brown, blonde, red

A Punnet Square will 

• tell you exactly what your offspring will look like
• increase the chance you pass on recessive traits
• predict genotypes and phenotypes in offspring
• have no purpose but for Taylor to give us extra assignments

The genotypic ratio here is

• 25% blue eye 75 % brown eye 
• BB = 25% Bb = 50% bb = 25%
• BB= 50 % bb = 50%
• All brown eye

Green is dominant to yellow. Two heterozygous green plants are crossed. What are the genotypes of the offspring?

• 100% Gg
• 50% GG, 50% Gg
• 25% GG, 50% Gg, 25% gg
• 75% Gg, 25% gg
