Probability of Inheritance Answers

The Punnett square predicts the ratio of genotypes in the offspring, based on the genotypes of the parents. The Punnett square below examines the chance of offspring having freckles, which is a dominant trait.Based on the Punnett square, what is the probability that the offspring will have freckles?

Why did Gregor Mendel choose to use purebred plants in his experiments?

In pea plants, tallness (T) is dominant to shortness (t). What are the predicted percentages of the genotypes of the offspring if a homozygous short plant is crossed with a heterozygous tall plant?

A dihybrid cross is created from plants that are heterozygous for both round seeds and yellow seed color. What is the ratio of offspring that have round seeds and yellow seed color?

What is one of the reasons why Gregor Mendel chose to study pea plants?

Which includes the physical characteristics of an organism?

The offspring of a particular cross are 100 percent heterozygous for the trait of plant height. What were the most likely genotypes of the parents?

Gregor Mendel crossed homozygous tall plants (TT) with homozygous short plants (tt). All the resulting offspring were tall. From these results, what conclusion did Mendel draw?

Which describes the mating of organisms that have different homozygous alleles for a single trait?

Which describes the notation Tt for the trait of plant height?
