Genetics Problems

The document presents a series of genetics problems involving plant and animal traits, focusing on dominant and recessive characteristics. It includes questions about offspring percentages from various crosses, gamete production, and phenotypic ratios. The problems cover concepts such as homozygous and heterozygous traits in different species.

Genetics Problems

1.​ A tall plant (TT) is crossed with a short plant (tt). What percentage of the offspring will be tall?
2.​ Round seed shape is dominant to wrinkled seed shape. A plant that is heterozygous for the round seed
shape is crossed with a plant that is homozygous for round seed shape. What percent of the offspring
will be homozygous dominant?
3.​ In cats, short hair is dominant to long hair. A true-breeding short haired cat is crossed with a cat that is
heterozygous for the trait. What percentage of the offspring will have long hair?
4.​ Purple (P) is dominant to white (p) flowers. In a homozygous dominant purple plant, what gametes
would be produced? What about in a plant that is heterozygous?
5.​ In pea plants, purple flower color is dominant to white flower color, and round pods are dominant to
wrinkled pods. If a true breeding purple flowered round pod plant is crossed with a true breeding white
flowered wrinkled pod plant, what will the resulting F1 generation be? Hint: don’t do a punnett square
6.​ In pea plants, purple flower color is dominant to white flower color, and round pods are dominant to
wrinkled pods. If a plant that is heterozygous for both traits is self crossed, what will the phenotypic
ratios of the F1 generation be?
7.​ Tallness is dominant to dwarfism in pea plants. Plants that are heterozygous for height are crossed.
What is the probability that the offspring will be homozygous dominant?
8.​ In a cross between AABBCc x AaBbCc what is the probability that the offspring will be AaBbcc?
9.​ In a cross between AABBCc x AaBbCc what is the probability that the offspring will be AaBbcc or
AABBCC?
