<PRE><B>Question 324870</B>
Mendel Revisited A pea plant must have exactly one of each of the following pairs of traits: 
short (s) or tall (t); 
round (r) or wrinkled (w) seeds; 
yellow (y) or green (g) peas; 
and white (wh) or purple (p) flowers 
(for example, short, wrinkled, green pea with white flowers).
-------
• a)How many different classifications of pea plants are possible?
Ans: 2*2*2*2 = 16
-------------------------------------
• b)Use a tree diagram to determine all the classifications possible.
Ans: Can&#39;t show this on this site.
-------------------------------------
• c)If each characteristic is equally likely, find the probability that the pea plant will have round peas.
Ans: 1/2 because the peas are either round or wrinkled.
-------------------------------------
• d)Determine the probability that the pea plant will be short, have wrinkled seeds, have yellow seeds, and have purple flowers.
Ans: (1/2)(1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/16
