The provided pedigree shows the inheritance of a recessive trait (‘a’). Unless there is evidence to the contrary, assume the individuals that have married into the family do not carry the recessive allele. What is the probability that the offspring of the following mating will show the trait: (‘a’) III – 7 x III – 16?

In one of Mendel’s pea plants, seed shape and color are controlled by genes located on separate chromosomes where the round shape allele is dominant over wrinkled and the yellow seed color allele is dominant over green. After performing a dihybrid cross (F1 heterozygous at both genes) you observed 360 round, yellow; 115 round, green; 85 wrinkled, yellow; and 20 wrinkled, green F2 plants. If these traits were controlled by two independent genes with two alleles at each gene, what is the expected number of green-wrinkled seeds from this cross?
