1 The allele for tall pea plants is dominant over the allele for short pea plants. If two heterozygous plants are crossed, what will the genotypic and phenotypic ratios be?

2 Purple flowers are dominant over white flowers, and green pods are dominant over yellow pods in pea plants. What would the probability be of producing a pea plant with white flowers and yellow pods from parent plants that are heterozygous for each trait?

3 Red eyes are dominant on fruit flies but an x-linked recessive allele will produce white-eyed flies. If a pure breeding red-eyed female mates with a white-eyed male, what is the probability of white eyes in the F1 generation?
