Suppose that goats have one gene that codes for color, where A is brown and a is white. The goats also have another gene that codes for height, where B is tall and b is short. If these two genes are unlinked, what is the probability that a cross between Aa Bb × Aa bb parents will produce three out of five offspring that are white and tall? Enter your answer as a decimal, rather than as a percentage

The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red-green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in black. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color blind if the father is not color blind? If he is color blind?
Suppose that goats have one gene that codes for color, where A is brown and a is white. The goats also have another gene that codes for height, where B is tall and b is short. If these two genes are unlinked, what is the probability that a cross between Aa Bb × Aa bb parents will produce two out of six offspring that are brown and short? Provide answer as a decimal, rather than as a percentage.
In the same cross as question #1, what fraction of the offspring will have their father's genotype for both traits?
The following cross is set: DDEeFFggHh X DdEEFfGGhh a. What is the maximum number of additive alleles possible in their offspring? b. What is the maximum number of non-additive alleles possible in their offspring?
A plant with flowers with pink petals is crossed to another plant with flowers with pink petals. The offspring include 15 plants with pink flowers, 7 plants with red flowers, and 8 plants with white flowers. If you then crossed a pink-flowered plant to a plant with red flowers, what types of offspring, and in what proportions, would you expect to see? Feel free to include Punnett square(s) to help explain your answer.
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.
Assume that one of the students in your class is homozygous for the “Type A” allele and the other student is homozygous for the “Type B” allele. What blood type(s) would you expect to see in their offspring? What if the second was instead “Type O”? Cross two individuals who both have Type AB blood. What are the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios in their offspring?
In a cross between BbTtSS and BBttSs, what is the probability of offspring being BBTtSS? Be specific on the answer
In a certain animal, black coat (B) are dominant to white coat (b). In a genetic cross of two animals that are heterozygous for coat color, what is the probability of having white coat? Write in fraction form
In corn plants, a dominant allele Z inhibits kernel color, while the recessive allele z permits color when homozygous. At a different locus, the dominant allele X causes purple kernel color, while the homozygous recessive genotype causes red kernel color. If corn plants heterozygous for both the Z and X genes are crossed, what are the chances that the offspring will have purple kernels? Enter your answer as a decimal fraction in the box (e.g. 0.25).
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.
