If you allow the original unknown plant to self-fertilize, what is the probability of recovering offspring with wrinkled, green OR round, yellow peas? Complete the following steps to answer the question: a. What is the cross? (Write out the genotypes being crossed, based on your answer to 3c.) b. What are the target genotypes? (Use the Y_ andR_notation). c. Break it down into single gene crosses: i. At the R locus only, what ratio of round:wrinkled do you expect from the cross? ii. At the Y locus only, what ratio of yellow:green do you expect from the cross?

1. If you allow the original unknown plant to self-fertilize, what is the probability of recovering
offspring with wrinkled, green OR round, yellow peas? Complete the following steps to answer
the question:
a. What is the cross? (Write out the genotypes being crossed, based on your answer to 3c.)
b. What are the target genotypes? (Use the Y_ and R_ notation).
c. Break it down into single gene crosses:
i. At the R locus only, what ratio of round:wrinkled do you expect from the cross?
ii. At the Y locus only, what ratio of yellow:green do you expect from the cross?
d. What is the total probability of getting offspring with wrinkled, green OR round, yellow
peas? Use the multiplication and addition rules and show your work!
