Probability of Inheritance Answers

Mendel crossed two plants that were heterozygous for the trait of flower color. Which genotypes could he have used to represent the cross?

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

The Punnett square predicts the ratio of genotypes in the offspring, based on the genotypes of the parents. In this cross, tallness (H) is dominant to shortness (h).Based on the Punnett square, what is the phenotype of the offspring?

Purple flowers are dominant over white flowers. A heterozygous purple flower is crossed with another heterozygous purple flower. What will the ratio of purple to white be?

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

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?

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

Which includes the physical characteristics of an organism?

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?

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