Word Problems using Monohybrid Crosses

1. Purple flowers (P) are dominant to white flowers (p). Perform the following
crosses. For each cross, give the phenotype and genotype of all offspring.
A. PP x pp
B. Pp x Pp
C. PP x Pp
2. In pea plants, yellow seed color is dominant to green seed color. If a
heterozygous pea plant is crossed with a plant that is homozygous recessive
for seed color, what is the probability that the offspring will have green seeds?
3. If all of the offspring of a particular cross have the genotype Gg, what must
the genotype of the parents be?
4. In fruit flies normal wings (W) is dominant over vestigial wings (w). The
results of a cross, of
two fruit flies, give the following results:
Normal wing 793
Vestigial wing 811
What are the genotypes of the parents of the F1 generation offspring? Use a
Punnett square
to prove your answer.
5. Red eyes (R) in fruit flies are dominant over white eyes (r). Using Punnett
squares, find the
possible eye colors of the F1 generation for each of the following crosses.
A. Rr x rr
B. rr x RR
C. Rr x Rr
6. The result of a cross is 3 purple flowers and 1 white flower. Using a cross,
determine whether a plant with purple flowers is heterozygous (Pp) or

white flowered plant

following problems, determine the parent genotypes, determine possible
gametes then construct a Punnet square to solve.

Set up a punnett square using the following information:
Dominate allele for tall plants = D
Recessive allele for dwarf plants = d
Dominate allele for purple flowers = W
Recessive allele for white flowers = w
Cross a homozygous dominate parent (DDWW) with a homozygous recessive
parent (ddww)
Using the punnett square in question answer the following; -
a. What is the probability of producing tall plants with purple flowers and
their possible genotype(s)?
b. What is the probability of producing dwarf plants with white flowers and
their possible genotype(s)?
c. What is the probability of producing tall plants with white flowers and their
possible genotype(s)?
