Question

Complete a Punnett square on your own in order to answer the question: A purple flowered daisy plant is crossed with a red flowered daisy plant. What is the probability of producing a purple flowered daisy plant?

Answer 1

A cross between a purple flower (BR) and a red flower (RR) will result to:

BR - 50% purple flowers

RR - 50% red flowers

Purple flower is a cross between blue and red flower which is a dilution of two dominant traits (blue and red color) resulting to a new heterozygous phenotype (purple flower).
