Question

.P indicates the allele for purple flowers and p indicates the allele for white flowers. Which statement about the offspring is correct? P p P p A. 25% will be heterozygous, 25% will be homozygous dominant, 50% will be homozygous recessive B. 50% will be heterozygous, 0% will be homozygous dominant, 25% will be homozygous recessive C. 75% will be heterozygous, 25% will be homozygous dominant, 0% will be homozygous recessive D. 50% will be heterozygous, 25% will be homozygous dominant, 25% will be homozygous recessive

Answer 1

D. 50% will be heterozygous, 25% will be homozygous dominant, 25% will be homozygous recessive

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose of a Punnett square is to illustrate the possible allele combinations that can be inherited by the offspring of two parents

Answer 2

The answer is D because:

by using a punnett square we get the following values:

PP - Homozygous Dominant (two uppercase letters)
Pp - Heterozygous Recessive (one lower case)
Pp - Heterozygous Recessive (one lower case also)
pp - Homozygous Recessive (two lowercase letters)
