homozygous tall, heterozygous green\theterozygous for both traits
what is its genotype?
what is its genotype?
offspring information
what % offspring will have green pods?\twhat % offspring will have yellow pods?\t%

what % chance for wooly, unspotted?\t%\twhat % chance for non - woolly, unspotted?\t%
what is the phenotypic ratio of this cross?\twhat is the genotype of a unspotted, non - woolly?
Step1: Determine pea - plant genotypes
The first plant is homozygous tall (TT) and heterozygous green (Gg), so its genotype is TTGg. The second plant is heterozygous for both traits, so its genotype is TtGg.
Step2: Set up Punnett - square for pea - plant cross
For the pod - color gene (Gg x Gg), the Punnett - square gives us the following genotypes: GG:Gg:gg = 1:2:1. So the percentage of green pods (GG + Gg) is 75% and yellow pods (gg) is 25%.
For the height and pod - color combination, we consider the cross of TtGg x TTGg. The probability of being tall (T_) is 100% since one parent is TT. The probability of yellow pods (gg) is 25%. So the percentage of tall with yellow pods is 100%×25% = 25%. The probability of being short (tt) is 0% since one parent is TT. So the percentage of short with yellow pods is 0%. The probability of being short (tt) is 0% and green pods (G_) is 75%, so the fraction of short with green pods is 0. The phenotypic ratio of the cross considering height and pod - color is 3 tall green : 1 tall yellow.
Step3: Determine mammoth genotypes
Both mammoths are heterozygous for both traits, so their genotype is IiHh.
Step4: Set up Punnett - square for mammoth cross
For the hair and skin - color cross IiHh x IiHh, the probability of woolly (H_) and spotted (I_) is $\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{3}{4}=\frac{9}{16}=56.25\%$. The probability of non - woolly (hh) and spotted (I_) is $\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{16}=18.75\%$. The probability of woolly (H_) and unspotted (ii) is $\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{16}=18.75\%$. The probability of non - woolly (hh) and unspotted (ii) is $\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{16}=6.25\%$. The phenotypic ratio is 9 woolly spotted : 3 woolly unspotted : 3 non - woolly spotted : 1 non - woolly unspotted. The genotype of an unspotted, non - woolly mammoth is ii hh.
