Monohybrid Crosses and Punnett SquaresPunnett squares are diagrams that can be used to predict the offspring that could result from a combinationof the gametes produced by two parents (or an organism that can self-fertilize). The alleles from thegametes of one parent (e.g., eggs) are placed on one axis of the Punnett square while the alleles from thegametes of the other parent (e.g., sperm) are placed on the other axis.1. Pea plants have two alleles for height: Tis the dominant allele and produces tall plants; t is the recessiveallele and produces short plants. Consider two parental pea plants each have the genotype Tt andanswer the following questions.a. What type of gametes can a plant with genotype Tt produce?b. Assign the maternal gametes to one axis in the Punnett square at right.c. Assign the paternal gametes to one axis in the Punnett square at right.2. Pea plants have two alleles for pea color: Y is the dominant allele and produces yellow peas; y is the1nment)recessive allele and produces green peas. Consider two parental pea plants each have the genotypeYy. Place the parental alleles on the axes of the Punnett square at right and fill in the boxescorresponding to each offspring that would result from fertilization events between the parentalgametes.a. Of the four possible offspring, how many would have the genotype YY?b. Of the four possible offspring, how many would have the genotype Yy?c. Of the four possible offspring, how many would have the genotype yy?d. What is the probability of an offspring from this cross having yellow peas?e. What is the probability of an offspring from this cross have green peas?
