Question

Based on the Punnett square above, what are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the offspring? A red plant and a pink plant. Red plant genotype: Pink plant genotype: Phenotypic ratio: Red = Pink = White = Genotypic ratio: RR = Rr = rr =

Answer 1

The genotypic ratio of the offspring is 2 RR: 2 Rr, and the phenotypic ratio is 4 red: 0 pink: 0 white. All of the offspring will have red flowers.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a red plant (genotype RR) is crossed with a pink plant (genotype Rr), the genotypic ratio of the offspring is 2 RR: 2 Rr, and the phenotypic ratio is 4 red: 0 pink: 0 white. This means that all of the offspring will have red flowers, as the red allele is dominant over the white allele.
