1. Use a Punnett’s squares to show a monohybrid cross between pure breeding parents of tall (T) and dwarf (t) pea plants. The tall trait is dominant and thus is represented by the uppercase letter “T”. The dwarf trait is recessive and is represented by to lowercase letter “t”.
2. You have a pea plant with purple flowers but you are unsure of it’s genotype. Since purple flowers is the dominate trait (P), while the recessive trait is white flowers (p), you decide to conduct a test cross to determine the genotype of the purple flowered pea plant. Show how you would do this.
