1. Pea plants with restricted yellow pods are crossed to plants that are true-breeding for
inflated green pods and the F1 plants are crossed. Derive the phenotypic and genotypic
ratios for the F2 generation.

2. In garden peas, one pair of alleles controls the height of the plant, and a second pair of
alleles controls flower color. The allele for tall (D) is dominant to the allele for dwarf (d),
and the allele for purple (P) is dominant to the allele for white (p). A tall plant with
 purple flowers crossed with a tall plant with white flowers produces 3/8 tall purple, 1/8
tall white, 3/8 dwarf purple, and 1/8 dwarf white. What is the genotype of the parents?

3. The genotype of F1 individuals in a tetrahybrid cross is AaBbCcDd. Assuming

independent assortment of these four genes, what are the probabilities that F2 offspring
will have the following genotypes?

A. aabbccdd - ¼ x ¼ x ¼ x ¼ =1/256

B. AaBbCcDd - ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ = 1/16

C. AABBCCDD - ¼ x ¼ x ¼ x ¼ =1/256

D. AaBBccDd - ½ x ¼ x ¼ x ½ = 1/64

E. AaBBCCdd = ½ x ¼ x ¼ x ¼ = 1/128
