Use a Punnett square to predict the offspring in a cross between a tall pea plant (heterozygous) and a tall pea plant (heterozygous). What is the genotypic ratio of the offspring?
A pea plant is heterozygous for both pod shape and color. I is the allele for dominant, inflated pod; i is the allele for recessive, constricted pod. G is the allele for dominant, green pod; g is the allele for recessive, yellow color characteristic. Suppose this plant is crossed with a homozygous pea with inflated, green pod, what will be the possible genotype of the offspring?
Construct the punnet square, then identify the following:
1. Parents’ genes?2. Parents’ traits?3. Genes (genotype)?4. Shape, color? (phenotype)?5. Genotypic ratio?6. Phenotypic ratio?
Draw a table that shows all possible combinations of offspring resulting from a dihybrid cross of pea plants that are heterozygous for the tall/dwarf and inflated/constricted allele.
