Question
- in pea plants purple flowers are dominant to white flowers. if two white flowered plants are cross, what percentage of their offspring will be white flowered?
Step1: Determine the genotype of white - flowered plants
Since white flowers are recessive (let the allele for purple be \(P\) and for white be \(p\)), white - flowered plants must have the genotype \(pp\).
Step2: Cross the two white - flowered plants
When we cross \(pp\times pp\), using the Punnett square method:
| Gametes of first parent | Gametes of second parent |
|---|---|
| \(p\) | \(pp\) |
| \(p\) | \(pp\) |
All of the offspring will have the genotype \(pp\).
