In pea plants, the flowers can be purple or white. The diagram shows three generations of pea plant crosses.
Using the pea flower color cross, identify the pattern of inheritance (simple dominance, codominance, incomplete dominance) shown and explain how the cross shows this pattern.

Punnet squares can be used to predict the probability of:
both of the above
being exposed to a contagious disease and contracting it
having an inherited disease or a genetically determined physical trait
Punnet squares are created by geneticist to determine the probability of different offspring genotypes. In the one shown below, what letter s belong in the lower right box?
AA

If two people who are both carriers (heterozygous) for a genetically inherited fatal recessive disease decide to become parents, what will be the odds that their children will also be carriers?
1 out of 4
2 out of 4
3 out of 4
4 out of 4
When Mendel crossed a purple flowered pea plant with a white flowered pea plant, the offspring always had purple flowers. When he crossed the offspring with each other, the second-generation offspring had some white flower plants. What conclusions can can be drawn from this observation?
The offspring from the first generation are heterozygous
The first generation will have a 3:1 purple to white ratio
The offspring from the 2nd generation are all heterozygous
The 2nd generation will be in a 1:1 purple to white ratio

One of the parents of a child has phenylketonuria (PKU), which is caused by recessive alleles. The other parent does not have the PKU alleles (not a carrier either). What is the chance that the couple will have a child with phenylketonuria?
