Question

Mendel crossed two plants that were heterozygous for purple flower color. Which genotypes could he have used to represent the cross§?

Answer 1

Two hetrozygous purple coloured flowers 1 purple homozygous flowers and one reccesive flower will be the result

Answer 2

Hi!

If they were both hectrozygous it means one allele is dominant over the other, i.e. the one that creates a purple pigment is dominant over the one that doesn’t. Capital letters represent the dominant allele and lower case letters are recessive. They must be the same letter.

So, let P = the allele coding for purple pigment and p = the allele coding for not purple.

If they are both heterozygous, he will be crossing Pp with Pp. when you put this in a Punnett square, the offspring will have the genotypes:

PP
PP
Pp
Pp
