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 ratio of the offspring?
What is the expected phenotypic ratio of the offspring?
Purple flowers (P)- completely dominant over white flowers (p) in pea plants.
Heterozygous male purple flowers- Pp
Homozygous female white flowers- pp
Using Punnett square,
P | p | |
p | Pp | pp |
p | Pp | pp |
The purple pea plant's genotype is Pp.
the white pea plant's genotype is pp.
The purple pea plant's gametes are P and p.
The white pea plant's gametes are p and p.
The expected genotypic ratio and, phenotypic ratio of the offspring is same which is 2:2 = 1:1
