In a testcross between a female Drosophila that is heterozygous for two unlinked autosomal genes and a male that is homozygous recessive for both, what is the probability of finding a female fly amongst the offspring with the same genotype as her mother? (Enter your answer in decimal format eg 0.35)
NB Autosomal genes are inherited independent of sex

Corn has a colour gene ‘C’ and a height gene ‘T’ with the following phenotypes: CC and Cc = purple; cc = white; TT = tall; Tt = medium; tt = dwarf. What phenotypic ratio would you expect in the progeny of the dihybrid cross CcTt x CcTt?
3:6:3:1:2:1
Andy is blood group O, his mother and father are blood group A and B respectively. What is the probability that Andy’s new-born sister will be blood group A?

Drosophila, homozygous for a null allele of the ebony gene have black bodies and the ebony allele is recessive to its wild type partner. Drosophila heterozygous for a mutant allele of the Curly gene have curly wings and Curly homozygotes die. Which of the following phenotypic ratios would you expect to see in the living progeny of flies which were heterozygous (mutant/wild type) for both genes?
6:3:2:1
The phenotypic ratio expected in the F2 generation of a standard dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1. If there are 24,000 F2 progeny, how many individuals would you expect to have the least frequent phenotype?

Full pod shape (F) is dominant to constricted pod shape (f) and yellow pod colour (Y) is dominant to green pod colour (y) in pea plants. A pure-breeding green plant with full pods is crossed with a pure-breeding yellow plant with constricted pods. What will be the phenotype(s) of the offspring?
All yellow with full pods

When a pure-breeding wildtype female fly (genotype bw+bw+, e+e+) is crossed to a pure-breeding brown-eyed, ebony-bodied male (genotype bw bw, e e), the F1 progeny are all wildtype. If the F1 flies interbreed, what is the probability of finding a brown-eyed fly with wildtype body colour amongst their offspring?
