Quick comprehension check
“A homozygous dominant pea plant for flower color (RR) is crossed with a homozygous recessive pea plant (rr). Use a Punnett square to predict the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring. Show your work. If two heterozygous pea plants for height (Tt) are crossed, use a Punnett square to predict the genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring. Show your work.”
