(a)  

19.

Cross a homozygous long tailed cat with a short tailed cat. (Let L = long tailed, l = short tailed) - Make Punnett Square!

a. what ratio of offspring have long tail?

b. what ratio are heterozygous?

c. what ratio are true-breeding?

(a)

How is it possible that all seven of the pea plant traits studied by Mendel obeyed the principle of independent assortment?

(a)  

21.

Red hair is recessive. One out of the three children born to a man and woman who both have brown hair is born red-headed. What are the genotypes that the man and woman have?



(a)  

22.

Green (G) seed color predominates over blue (g) in a certain species. What was the most probable genotype of each parent if two plants with green seeds crossed to produce 31 green and 12 blue seed plants?

(a)  

23.

The round seed shape phenotype of pea plants is dominant to the wrinkled seed shape phenotype. What is the probability that the offspring would have wrinkled seeds if a heterozygous pea plant is crossed with a homozygous round seeded pea plant?

(a)  

24.

In snapdragons, flower color is controlled by incomplete dominance. The two alleles are red (R) and white (W). The heterozygous genotype is expressed as pink. What is the phenotype of a plant with the genotype RR?
