Consider the following three genes in Mendel’s pea plants: Tall height (T) is dominant over dwarf height (t) Green pods (G) is dominant over yellow pods (g) Round seeds (R) is dominant over wrinkled seeds (r)   In a cross between the parents, TtGgrr x TtggRr, what proportion of offspring will be tall and produce yellow pods and round seeds. (HINT: consider each gene separately and then apply the product rule)

Achondroplasia is a form of dwarfism that shows autosomal dominant inheritance, with the homozygous dominant genotype being lethal before birth. If a couple with Achondroplasia have a live birth, what is the probability the child will have the unaffected phenotype?
