1. Which of the following describes a monohybrid cross?
A cross involving two different traits.
A cross involving a single trait.
A cross between two homozygous recessive individuals.
A cross that results in a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio.
2. If 'T' represents the dominant allele for tallness and 't' represents the recessive allele for shortness, what is the genotype of a heterozygous tall plant?
TT
Tt
tt
T or t
3. The observable characteristics of an organism are called its .
4. A purebred organism has two identical alleles for a trait and is therefore .
5. A Punnett square is used to predict the and ratios of offspring.
6. In pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant over white flowers (p). Cross a heterozygous purple-flowered plant with a white-flowered plant. Complete the Punnett square and determine the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the offspring.
