Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A homozygous tall plant (TT) is crossed with a heterozygous tall plant (Tt). Using a Punnett square, determine the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios.

💡 Hint: Create the Punnett square and analyze the resulting combinations.

Challenge 2 Hard

If a plant with genotype Tt is crossed with another plant that is also Tt, and a third plant that is tt is introduced, how would you expect the phenotype ratios to result? Draw Punnett squares to support your answer.

💡 Hint: Analyze each crossing individually to understand the outcomes.
