1. Perform a cross between two pea plants with the following characteristics: One is heterozygous for the dominant trait of wrinkled seeds (W); the other is homozygous for the recessive trait of smooth seeds (w). Fill in the genotypes of the offspring in the Punnett square. Then state the percentages of each genotype and phenotype of the offspring.

Ww, Ww, ww, ww

0% homozygous dominant (WW), 50% heterozygous (Ww) and 50% homozygous recessive (ww). The phenotype is 50-50, or half wrinkled seeds, half smooth seeds (2 Ww : 2 ww)
