Question
type the correct answer in the box.
a snapdragon with pink flowers with the genotype rr is mated with a snapdragon with red flowers with the genotype rr. what is the possibility of obtaining a flower with a heterozygous genotype?
the possibility of obtaining a heterozygous flower is
%.
Step1: Create Punnett square
The parent genotypes are Rr (pink) and RR (red). The possible gametes from Rr are R and r, and from RR are R and R.
| R | R | |
|---|---|---|
| r | Rr | Rr |
Step2: Count heterozygous genotypes
From the Punnett square, the heterozygous (Rr) genotypes are 2 out of 4 total offspring.
Step3: Calculate percentage
To find the percentage, we use the formula $\frac{\text{Number of heterozygous}}{\text{Total number of offspring}} \times 100$. So $\frac{2}{4} \times 100 = 50$.
