and determine the genotypes of the parental individuals, which are from pure-
breeding lines.

Consider this cross in pea plants: Tt Rr yy Aa × Tt rr Yy Aa, whereT = tall, t = dwarf, R = round, r = wrinkled, Y = yellow, y = green,A = axial, a = terminal. What is the expected phenotypic outcomeof this cross? Have one group of students solve this problem bymaking one big Punnett square, and have another group solve it bymaking four single-gene Punnett squares and using the multiplication method. Time each other to see who gets done first.
In a cross between a 29cm plant and a 20cm plant what would be the genotypes giving the smallest number of different phenotypes? specify the phenotypes observed.
