Monohybrid And Dihybrid Crosses - Quiz

Show me that you understand how to predict the possible outcome of mono and dihybrid crosses using Punnett squares. Use the following letters for your crosses: T = tall t = short G = green seeds g = yellow seeds P = purple flowers p = white flowers

    • B. 

      One will have the dominant phenotype and three will have the recessive

    • C. 

      Two will show the dominant phenotype and two the recessive

    • D. 

      One will have the recessive phenotype and three the dominant
