To determine the possible phenotypes of pea offspring from a cross, it would depend on the specific traits and alleles being considered. For example, if crossing a homozygous dominant plant for tallness (TT) with a homozygous recessive plant for shortness (tt), all offspring (Tt) would exhibit the dominant phenotype, which is tall. If you include heterozygous plants or multiple traits (like seed color), the phenotypic ratio would vary accordingly. Overall, the phenotypes depend on the alleles involved in the cross and their dominance relationships.

When a true breeding tall pea plant (homozygous for the tall trait, TT) is crossed with a tall pea plant of unknown genotype, the offspring's phenotypes can help determine the genotype of the second plant. If all offspring are tall, the unknown plant is likely also homozygous tall (TT). However, if some offspring are short, the unknown plant must be heterozygous (Tt), as the short trait (tt) can only appear if the recessive allele is present. In summary, the resulting phenotypes of the offspring will clarify the genotype of the unknown parent.

The peas produced by Lupe's pea plants can also exhibit different traits, such as being round or wrinkled. The round shape is dominant over the wrinkled shape. Therefore, the combination of flower color and pea shape results in various possible phenotypes for the offspring, depending on the genotypes of the parent plants. Lupe can predict the inheritance patterns using a Punnett square to assess the traits of the next generation.
The possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring can be determined using a Punnett square, a grid that shows the possible combinations of alleles that can result at fertilisation. The Punnett square below shows the expected genotypes of the offspring of parent pea plants that both have the genotype Rr.
Using Punnett Squares, you can predict the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring of a cross between a homozygous (purebred) tall pea plant and a homozygous (purebred) short pea plant.

Mendel Diagrams. If the offspring gets a dominate gene from both parents, the offspring will exhibit traits from the dominate gene. If the offspring gets a dominate gene from one parent and a recessive gene from another, the offspring will exhibit traits from the dominate gene. If the offspring get a recessive gene from both parents, the offspring will exhibit traits from the recessive gene.
Parental Phenotypes are when the offspring of two parents look like one of the two parents. for example, if a green wrinkled pea is crossed with a heterozygous yellow round pea the offspring are 1/4 yellow round, 1/4 green wrinkled, 1/4 yellow wrinkled, and 1/4 green round. the yellow round and green wrinkled look like the parents so they have parental phenotypes, whereas the yellow wrinkled and the green round have combinations of the parental phenotypes thus they have recombinant phenotypes.
An example of Mendel's classic cross would be crossing pea plants that are purebred for tall height with pea plants that are purebred for short height, resulting in a first-generation hybrid offspring that are all tall.

A trait determined by a single gene with two alleles will typically have only two possible phenotypes, one associated with each allele. Examples include pea plant seed color (yellow or green) and human blood type (A or B).
