Expert Solution

Pea plant with homozygous axial flowers (dominant) - AA

Pea plant with homozygous terminal flowers (recessive) -aa

a. cross between homozygous axial x terminal - AA x aa

	A	A
a	Aa	Aa
a	Aa	Aa

The phenotype for this cross is: All pea plants will be with axial flowers which are heterozygous for the trait.

( genotype =Aa)

b. Heterozygous axial x terminal - Aa x aa

	A	a
a	Aa	aa
a	Aa	aa

The progeny of this cross will be in 1:1 ratio. 50% of the plants will be with axial flowers which are heterozygous for the trait and 50% of the plants will be with terminal flowers.

c. Heterozygous axial x heterozygous axial -Aa x Aa

	A	a
A	AA	Aa
a	Aa	aa

The progeny for this cross will be : Phenotypic ratio is 3: 1 ( 3pea plants with AA and Aa will be with axial flowers and i pea plant with genotype aa will be with terminal flowers).

Genotypic ratio for this cross will be: AA:aa:aa in 1:2:1 ratio. ( 1 homozygous axial flowers(AA): 2 heterozygous axial flowers(Aa): 1 terminal flowers(aa).

In tomatoes, yellow flowers (Wf) are dominant over white flowers (wf), and yellow fruit (r) are recessive to red fruit (R). A cross was made between true-breeding plants with yellow flowers and yellow fruit, and plants with white flowers and red fruit. The F1 generation plants were then crossed to plants with white flowers and yellow fruit. The following results were obtained: 75 white flowers, red fruit 205 white flowers, yellow fruit 216 yellow flowers, red fruit 37 yellow flowers,...

In peas, tall (T) is dominant to short (t), yellow (Y) is dominant to green (y) and round (R) is dominant to wrinkled (r). A purebreeding plant with tall, green and wrinkled pea phenotypes is crossed to a purebreeding plant that is short and makes yellow, round peas. When peas from this F1 generation are crossed, what is the probability of obtaining a short plant that makes yellow, wrinkled peas in the F2?
