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 want to determine whether genes a and b are linked. What cross would you use and why? How would this cross tell you if they are linked?
Consider the following cross: AaBbCcDdEe X AaBbCcDdEe. How many different phenotypes would you expect in the offspring from this cross? Number of phenotypes =
In pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant to white flowers (p) and yellow peas (Y) are dominant to green peas (y). What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes for a cross between PpYY and ppYy pea plants? How many squares do you need to do a Punnett square analysis of this cross?
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 pea plants, the color yellow is dominant over the color green. If a homozygous yellow plant is crossed with a heterozygous yellow plant, what will be the genotypic ratio of the offspring?
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 the same cross as question #1, what fraction of the offspring will have their father's genotype for both traits?
In terms of a chi-square analysis, what ratio would be tested for the offspring of a monohybrid cross involving a pure-breeding dominant condition mated with a pure-breeding recessive condition?
In pea plants, the color yellow is dominant over the color green. If a homozygous yellow plant is crossed with a heterozygous yellow plant, what percentage of the plants will be green?
You cross a pea plant with the genotype AaBbCcDd with a pea plant that is AABbCCdd. What is the probability that you get an offspring with the genotype AaB_C_dd?
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.
When Mendel crossed yellow-seeded and green-seeded pea plants, all the offspring were yellow-seeded. When he took these F1 yellow-seeded plants and crossed them to green-seeded plants, what genotypic ratio was expected? What is the name of this type of cross?
