Question

in pea plants, purple flowers are dominant to white flowers. If you cross twoheterozygous plants with purple flowers, what percentage of the offspringwould you expect to be purple?O 25%O 50%O 75%100%

Answer 1

The answer is 75%

Let's assign these genotypes to the flowers:

Purple- P (dominant)

White- pp (recessive)

Two heterozygous purple flowers are crossed:

Pp X Pp

The resulting offspring of the cross would be:

PP- 25% homozygous purple flower

Pp- 50% heterozygous purple flower

pp- 25% homozygous white flower

PP, Pp- are purple flowers

25%+50%= 75%
