In the garden pea, Mendel found that tall (D) plants, green pods (G), and inflated pods (C) were dominant to dwarf (d)
plants, yellow pods (g), and constricted pods (c). Given the following genotypes, determine the chances of producing the
offspring shown.
(a) DD Gg Cc x Dd Gg cc -> DD gg Cc
(b) DD Gg Cc x Dd Gg Cc -> tall; green, constricted pods
(c) Dd Gg Cc x Dd GG cc -> tall; green, inflated pods
(d) Dd Gg Cc x Dd Gg Cc -> D__ G__ cc
(e) Dd Gg Cc x Dd gg CC -> D__ G__ C__
(f) Dd gg cc x DD Gg cc -> tall, green, inflated pods
(g) Dd Gg Cc x Dd Gg Cc -> Dd Gg Cc
(h) Dd Gg Cc x Dd Gg Cc -> dd gg cc What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: (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

The Northern leopard frog (Rana pipiens) and Southern leopard frog (Rana utricularia) are morphologically similar, but their mating calls sound very different. Based on this, what is the best explanation for why these frogs are considered separate species?
A. They are too morphologically different to interbreed. B. They do interbreed, but produce sterile hybrids. C. They have undergone behavioral isolation which prevents them from interbreeding. D. They have undergone habitat isolation because one species is entirely terrestrial while the other is entirely aquatic.
