Yellow flower color is dominant to white flower color in a particular species of flowering plants. How can a farmer tell if his yellow-flowered plants are homozygous for that trait (flower color), or heterozygous? Illustrate your answer by means of simple crosses.

In a cross between a heterozygous tall pea plant and a dwarf plant,predict the ratios of the offspring’s genotypes and phenotypes.
Use a chi-square test to determine if the observed numbers of progeny fit the number expected with independent assortment.
Suppose that for three generations, the clawed wing trait has only shown up in males. In the fourth generation, a mating between a clawed wing male and a normal wing female produces a clawed wing female. Does this necessarily mean that the trait is not sex-linked? Why or why not? (Sketching out a quick pedigree may help you answer)
Give written answer with explanation and conclusion A cross was made between a white male dog and two different black females. The first female gave birth to eight black pups, and the second female gave birth to four white and three black pups. What are the likely genotypes of the male parent and the two female parents? Use Punnett’s squares to support your answer. Explain whether you are uncertain about any of the genotypes.
You inspect an ear of corn and find the following number of kernels: 461 red and starch, 142 red and sweet, 156 yellow and starchy and 53 yellow and sweet. a. What genotype did the parent corn plants probably have? b. Support your answer by working out the cross with a Punnett square

How would I figure this out using a punnett square? Next, you perform a cross of two heterozygous, red-eyed flies. They have 100 offspring. How many of these offspring do you predict will have red eyes? Show your work using a Punnett square. [Use letters R and r to designate the alleles].
Suppose you do a cross between two parents who are both heterozygous for two traits, such as petal shape (narrow or wide, narrow is dominant) and flower color (red or white, red is dominant). If there are 160 offspring, how many would you expect to have wide petals with red flowers?
In tomatoes, red fruit is dominant to yellow fruit, and purple stems are dominant to green stems. The progeny from one mating consisted of 305 red fruit, purple stem plants; 328 red fruit, green stem plants; 110 yellow fruit, purple stem plants; and 97 yellow fruit, green stem plants. What were the genotypes of the parents in this cross? Explain how you arrived at your answers.
