Crossing two green corn plants results in 2/3 green progeny and 1/3 white progeny. If you cross 2 green progeny with each other, your expected phenotypic ratio is: The correct answer is 2 green and I white, but I don't know why.

Figure 8.10 In pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant to white (p), and yellow peas (Y) are dominant to green (y). What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes for a cross between PpYY and ppYy pea plants? How many squares would you need to complete a Punnett square analysis of this cross?
Imagine that you are performing a cross involving seed color in garden pea plants. What traits would you expect to observe in the F1 offspring if you cross true-breeding parents with green seeds and yellow seeds? Yellow seed color is dominant over green. a. only yellow-green seeds b. only yellow seeds c. 1:1 yellow seeds:green seeds d. 1:3 green seeds:yellow seeds
In pea plants, tall (T) is dominant to dwarf (t) and yellow (Y) is dominant to green (y). In a cross of true-breeding tall yellow peas x dwarf green peas, what proportion of the progeny are tall with yellow peas? a. 25% b. 50% c. 75% d. 100%
In a heterzygote cross between two peas, where A is dominant and a is recessive. In a pod with 4 peas, what is the probability that 3 or more of the peas are recessive.
You have a pea plant with a yellow pea phenotype but do not know if the genotype is homozygous (YY) or heterozygous (Yy). What type of cross would you do determine the genotype of this plant and what would be the predicted phenotypes of the offspring?
You crossed two true-breeding lines of violet-flowered and white-flowered peas. Is it possible to establish a true-breeding line of the genotype found in the offspring of your cross? Why or why not?
Why is the progeny always tall when a tall pea plant is crossed with a short pea plant?
In pea plants, flower color is determined by one gene with two alleles, with the allele coding for purple flowers (P) being dominant to the allele coding for white flowers (p). If two purple-flowered offspring resulting from a cross between homozygous dominant and white-flowered parents are crossed, what percentage of the progeny are expected to have the dominant phenotype?
In snapdragons, heterozygotes for one of the genes have pink flowers, whereas homozygotes have red (R) or white (r) flowers. When plants with red flowers are crossed with plants with white flowers, what proportion/probability of the offspring will have pink flowers? Create a Punnett square.
In horses, the cross between a pure bred chestnut horse and pure bred cremello (white) horse produces a palomino horse. What would the offspring be from the cross of two palomino horses? What is the chance of getting each type of horse?
In flowers, purple flower color is dominant and denoted by "P" while white flower color is recessive and is denoted by "p". In a monohybrid cross between 2 heterozygous purple flowers, what is the expected phenotypic offspring ratio?
A cross between two red flower plants produces 2/3 progeny that are red and1/3 progeny that are yellow. What is the genotype of the red flower? Explain these unexpected ratios.
