you inspect an ear of corn and find the following numbers of kernels: 461 purple and starchy,142 purple and sweet, 156 yellow and starchy, 53 yellow and sweet. what genotypes and phenotypes did the parent corn plants probably have? be sure to include a punnet square (you dont have to include the punnet square but it would help a lot if you did)

Starchy | Starchy
