Question

mendel crossed two plants that were heterozygous for the trait of flower color. which genotypes could he have used to represent the cross?
○ pp × pp
○ pp × pp
○ pp × pp
○ pp × pp

Explanation:

A heterozygous genotype has two different alleles. In Mendelian genetics, if we assume \( P \) represents the dominant allele and \( p \) represents the recessive allele, a heterozygous plant would have the genotype \( Pp \). When two heterozygous plants (\( Pp \)) are crossed, the cross is represented as \( Pp\times Pp \).

Answer:

\( Pp\times Pp \) (the second option in the list provided in the question)
