Problem 2: In summer squash, white fruit is dominant to yellow, and flat fruit is dominant to round. The
selected parents are a plant with white-flat fruit (homozygous) and a plant with yellow-round fruit. Carry
this cross through the F₂ generation. List phenotypic ratio for the F, generation.
Problem 3: Persian cats have the dominant gene for black coat and the recessive gene for long hair.
Siamese cats have the recessive gene for tan coat and the dominant gene for short hair. A pure-breeding
black, long hair Persian cat is mated with a pure-breeding tan, short hair Siamese. Calculate the F, and F₂
generations. List the phenotypic ratio for the F₂ generation.
