What is a worked cross pattern?Show answer
Crossing two heterozygous tall plants (Tt with Tt) gives offspring TT, Tt, Tt, tt, a ratio of 3 tall : 1 short. Crossing heterozygous with homozygous recessive (Tt with tt) gives Tt, tt, Tt, tt, a ratio of 1 tall : 1 short. The diagram gives the ratio every time.
What is q1?Show answer
Define the terms dominant allele and recessive allele. [2 marks]
What is q2?Show answer
A plant has the genotype Tt for height, where T (tall) is dominant. State its phenotype and the gametes it can make. [2 marks]
What is q3?Show answer
Two heterozygous plants (Tt) are crossed. State the expected ratio of tall to short offspring. [2 marks]
