####
Part 1: Complete the Punnett Squares & Fill in the Blanks
#####
Problem 1:
-
Punnett Square:
```
H h
H HH Hh
h Hh hh
```
-
Frequencies:
- HH: 1/4 (25%)
- Hh: 2/4 (50%)
- hh: 1/4 (25%)
-
Genotypes:
- P1: Hh × Hh
- F1: HH, Hh, hh
#####
Problem 2:
-
Punnett Square:
```
a a
A Aa Aa
A Aa Aa
```
-
Frequencies:
- AA: 0/4 (0%)
- Aa: 4/4 (100%)
- aa: 0/4 (0%)
-
Genotypes:
- P1: Aa × aa
- F1: Aa
#####
Problem 3:
-
Punnett Square:
```
B b
B BB Bb
b Bb bb
```
-
Frequencies:
- BB: 1/4 (25%)
- Bb: 2/4 (50%)
- bb: 1/4 (25%)
-
Genotypes:
- P1: Bb × Bb
- F1: BB, Bb, bb

Part 2: Monohybrid Cross Problems
#####
Problem 4:
-
Given:
- Tall (T) is dominant over dwarf (t).
- Homozygous tall plant (TT) is crossed with a homozygous dwarf plant (tt).
-
Cross: TT × tt
-
P1 Genotypes: TT (Tall), tt (Dwarf)
-
Punnett Square:
```
T t
T TT Tt
t Tt tt
```
-
F1 Genotypes: TT, Tt, Tt, tt
-
F1 Phenotypes: All Tall (since T is dominant over t)
-
Summary:
- Cross:
TT × tt
- P1 Genotypes:
TT, tt
- F1 Genotypes:
TT, Tt, Tt, tt
- F1 Phenotypes:
All Tall
#####
Problem 5:
-
Given:
- Two F1 plants from Problem 4 are crossed with each other.
- From Problem 4, the F1 genotypes are Tt.
-
Cross: Tt × Tt
-
Punnett Square:
```
T t
T TT Tt
t Tt tt
```
-
F2 Genotypes: TT, Tt, Tt, tt
-
F2 Phenotypes:
- TT: Tall
- Tt: Tall
- tt: Dwarf
-
Summary:
- Cross:
Tt × Tt
- F1 Genotypes:
Tt, Tt
- F2 Genotypes:
TT, Tt, Tt, tt
- F2 Phenotypes:
3 Tall, 1 Dwarf
