Answer #1

A genotype of an organism represents a specific combination of alleles it carries for a given gene. Whereas, phenotype is the actual observable characteristics. Phenotypes are influenced by genotype as well as the environmental factors. The trait that is exhibited by an organism due to a specific genotype is a phenotype. Examples of phenotypes are height, eye color, hair color, color of flower, seed color etc.

Here, if a dominant allele for purple flower is there in the genotype of the plant then purple flower will be the phenotype.

In pea plants, the allele for purple flowers ( W ) is dominant to the allele for white flowers ( w ). To determine whether a plant with purple flowers is homozygous or heterozygous with respect to flower color, the plant should be crossed with another pea plant with what genotype and phenotype with respect to flower color?
Purple flowers versus red flowers and long pollen versus round pollen are two traits in a...
Purple flowers versus red flowers and long pollen versus round pollen are two traits in a sweet pea plant. When a true breeding purple/long pollen plant is crossed with a true-breeding red/round pollen plant, the F1 generation offspring all have purple flowers and long pollen. When the F1 generation is bred to itself via human-directed fertilization, a ratio of 7 : 4.9 : 4.9 : 0.05, purple/long : red/long : purple/round : red/round is noted in the F2 generation. What...

Foxglove flowers come in three main color patters as shown below and are the product of dominant epistasis between two genes. The first genes D makes a purple pigment that appears either dark purple (D_) or light purple (dd). The second gene W confines the pigment to small spots on the trumpet-like flower in flowers with genotype W_. In these spots the pigmentation is so intense that one can’t distinguish dark purple spots from light purple spots, so flowers simply...

Part A)i n plants, purple flower color is dominant to white flowers color. You crossed a white flowering plant with a purple flowering plant. Out of 236 plants in the offspring, 114 had white flowers and the other 122 had purple flowers. What were the genotypes of the parent plants? A. One plant was heterozygous white and the other heterozygous purple B. Both plants are homozygous C.Both plants are heterozygous D. One plant was homozygous white and the other heterozygous...

Purple flowers (P) are completely dominant over white flowers (p) in pea plants. A plant that is heterozygous for purple flowers (male) is crossed with another plant that has white flowers (female). Use a Punnett square to determine the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios for the offspring. What is the purple pea plant's genotype? What is the white pea plant's genotype? What are the purple pea plant's gametes? What are the white pea plant's gametes? What is the expected genotypic...

In the datura plant, purple flower color is controlled by a dominant allele P. White flowers are found in plants homozygous for the recessive allele p. A heterozygous purple-flowered plant is self-fertilized by its own pollen and produces five seeds. a) Probability than any one seed will grow into a white-flowered plant? b) Probability that at least two of the five seeds will grow into white-flowered plants?

A species of plant is discovered in which individual plants produce either white or purple flowers. True breeding plants that have short stems with white flowers are crossed with true breeding plants that have tall stems and purple flowers. The resulting offspring all have tall stems with purple flowers. When one of these tall, purple-flowered offspring is crossed with a short, white-flowered plant, plants with the following characteristics were obtained in equal proportions. White flowers on tall stems Purple flowers...
