The probability that both alleles in the offspring are type A is the product of the probability that the allele from the pollen is A and the probability that the allele from the ovule is A (we will derive this in Section 6.5). What is the probability that the offspring of a homozygous parent is homozygous? What is the probability that the offspring of a homozygous parent is heterozygous?

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).
