Question

drag each label to the correct location on the punnett square.
the punnett square illustrates a cross for flower position in the pea plant. the phenotypes and genotypes of the parents have been given. the allele for axial position is dominant and represented by a. the allele for terminal flower position is recessive and represented by a. what is the genotype of the offspring?
heterozygous homozygous recessive homozygous dominant

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the genotype for AA

When \(A\) (from one parent) combines with \(A\) (from the other parent), the genotype is \(AA\). Since both alleles are dominant, it is homozygous dominant.

Step2: Determine the genotype for Aa

When \(A\) (from one parent) combines with \(a\) (from the other parent), the genotype is \(Aa\). There is one dominant and one recessive allele, so it is heterozygous.

Step3: Determine the genotype for aa

When \(a\) (from one parent) combines with \(a\) (from the other parent), the genotype is \(aa\). Since both alleles are recessive, it is homozygous recessive.

Answer:

• The cell with \(AA\) is "homozygous dominant".
• The cell with \(Aa\) is "heterozygous".
• The cell with \(aa\) is "homozygous recessive".
