In pea plants, flowers located along the stem (axial) are dominant to flowers located at the end of the stem (terminal). Let A represent the allele for axial flowers and a represent the allele for terminal flowers. When plants with axial flowers are crossed with plants having terminal flowers, all of the offspring have axial flowers. The geno- types of the parent plants are most likely (1) aa хаа (2) Аа х Аа (3) аах Аа (4) АА х аа

Another trait in pea plants that follows a simple inheritance pattern is flower colour. Purple flowers are a dominant trait while white flowers are a recessive trait.Explain what this difference means in terms of the alleles for flower colour.

In peas, purple flower colour is determined by the dominant P allele and white flower colour is determined by the recessive p allele. If purple-flowered PP plants are crossed with white-flowered pp plants, the phenotype of the F1 progeny will be:Question 4Select one:a.white-floweredb.purple-floweredc.¾ purple-flowered : ¼ white floweredd.¼  purple-flowered : ¾ white flowered

Sometimes, when Mendel crossed two pea plants with each other, he obtained a phenotypic ratio of 3:1 purple-flowered pea plants to white-flowered pea plants. These results are consistent with which set of parents?Multiple ChoiceHomozygous purple pea plant and homozygous white pea plantHeterozygous purple pea plant and homozygous purple pea plantHeterozygous purple pea plant and homozygous white pea plantHeterozygous purple pea plant and heterozygous purple pea plant

In the garden peas of one pair of alleles controls the height of theplant and a second pair of alleles controls flower colour. Theallele for tall (T) is dominant to the allele for dwarf (t) and theallele for purple flower colour (P) is dominant to the allele forwhite (p).a. A tall plant with purple flowers crossed with a dwarf plant withwhite flowers produced 50% tall, purple and 50% tall, whiteprogeny. What is the genotype of the parents?b. A tall plant with white flowers crossed with a dwarf plant withpurple flowers produced 25% tall purple, 25% tall white, 25%dwarf purple and 25% dwarf white individuals. What is thegenotype of the parents?

In pea plants, purple flowers are dominant to white flowers, and axial flowers are dominant to terminal flowers. If a true-breeding plant with purple, axial flowers is crossed with a true-breeding plant with white, terminal flowers, what proportion of the F2 offspring will have purple, terminal flowers?Multiple choice question.1/23/43/161/49/16
