Practice Problem:
You cross a true-breeding pea plant with red flowers to a true-breeding pea plant with white
flowers. All of your offspring have red flowers. Which gene is dominant? Why? What is the
genotype of your offspring?
You then cross the offspring to each other. What ratio do you expect? Why?
You count 1000 plants and look at their flowers. Your results are as follows:
740 red
260 white
Does this follow a simple Mendelian inheritance pattern? Why or why not?

Consider a two-factor cross between a pure breeding plants: one with purple flowers and yellow seed pods and another with white flowers and green seed pods. 100% of F1 offspring have purple flowers and green seed pods. If these F1 plants are self-fertilized, what proportion of F2 offspring are expected to have purple flowers and green seed pods? You may assume independent assortment of the flower color and seed pod color alleles. Please give your answer as a decimal rounded to two decimal places (e.g. 0.69).
Two pure-breeding lines of petunia plants are crossed. Line 1 plants grow to a height of 54
cm, and Line 2 plants grow to a height of 18 cm. Petunia plant height is controlled by three
genes, A, B and C. Line 1 has the genotype A₁A₁B₁B₁C₁C₁, and line 2 has the genotype
A2A2B₂B₂C₂C₂. Assume that genotype alone determines plant height under ideal growth
conditions and that the alleles of the three genes are additive.
If the F1 plants are self crossed, what is the expected proportion of F2 plants with the
genotype A₁A₁B₁B₁C₁C₁

If two pea plants that are both Heterozygous for seed coats are crossed, what do you expect in the offspring (the f1 generation)? Specifically, what genotypes, what phenotypes, and in what ratios?
