Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A pure-breeding tall pea plant (TT) is crossed with a pure-breeding short pea plant (tt). If you then cross an F1 individual with a short plant, what proportion of the offspring would be expected to be tall?
💡 Hint: Use a Punnett square to visualize this cross.
Predict the phenotypic ratio of offspring resulting from a dihybrid cross between two individuals heterozygous for both traits (YyRr x YyRr). Show your reasoning through a Punnett square.
💡 Hint: Make sure to account for all possible gamete combinations.
