In the garden pea, Mendel found that tall (D) green pods (G) and inflated pods (C) were dominant to

their alleles, dwarf (d) yellow pods (g) and constricted pods (c). Given the following genotypes,
determine the chances of producing the offspring shown.
(a) DD Gg Cc ? Dd Gg cc ? DD gg Cc
(b) DD Gg Cc ? Dd Gg Cc ? tall green pod, constricted pod
(c) Dd Gg Cc ? Dd GG cc ? tall green pod, inflated pod
(d) Dd Gg Cc ? Dd Gg Cc ? D__ G__ cc
(e) Dd Gg Cc ? Dd gg CC ? D__ G__ C__
(f) Dd gg cc ? DD Gg cc ? tall green pod, inflated pod
(g) Dd Gg Cc ? Dd Gg Cc ? Dd Gg Cc
(h) Dd Gg Cc ? Dd Gg Cc ? dd gg cc What will be an ideal response?


(a) (1/2) (1/4) (1/2) = 1/16
(b) (1) (3/4) (1/4) = 3/16
(c) (3/4) (1) (1/2) = 3/8
(d) (3/4) (3/4) (1/4) = 9/64
(e) (3/4) (1/2) (1) = 3/8
(f) (1) (1/2) 0 = 0
(g) (2/4) (2/4) (2/4) = 8/64
(h) (1/4) (1/4) (1/4) = 1/64
