A plant can produce either purple flowers or white flowers. What is the probability of purple-flowered offspring if two plants that are heterozygous for purple flowers are crossed?

Let us consider a cross between two plants heterozygous for purple flowers.

Heterozygous Purple (Pp) X Heterozygous Purple (Pp)

Each plant will produce two types of gametes, i.e. 50% gametes carrying (P) allele and 50 % carrying (p) allele.

Checking the probability of fusion between the gametes produced by two plants crossed using Punnet Square method, it is seen that 75% plants will have at least one dominant allele (P) and thus will bear purple flowers. Only 25% plants will have recessive allele in homozygous state (pp). These plants will bear white flowers.

Out of 75% plants bearing purple flowers, 25% will be homozygous Purple (PP) and 50% will be heterozygous purple (Pp)

Consider the genetic cross for absent-mindedness, which is a dominant trait. All of the offspring from this cross will be absent-minded. If two parents that are absent-minded have offspring that are not, what MUST be the genotypes of the parents?

In a punnett square cross for one trait there are four possibilities AA, Aa, aA aa Where A stands for the dominate gene for absent mindedness Where...

What is the probability that an individual heterozygous for a cleft chin (Cc) and an individual homozygous for a chin without a cleft (cc) will produce offspring that are homozygous recessive for a chin without a cleft (cc)?

Here the parental genotype are : Cc and cc The genes are therefore : C c c c Hence, if you draw a punnet's square, it would appear like this...

A true breeding tall, purple flowered pea plant (TTPP) is crossed with a true breeding dwarf, white flowerd pea plant (ttpp). 1) What is the phenotype of the F1 Generation? 2) What is the genotype of the F1 Generation?

Gametes produced by TTPP will be TP and that of ttpp will be tp if we cross pollinate them TP * tp the F 1 generation will be a...

During an experiment, a scientist crosses a pea plant that has purple flowers with a pea plant that has white flowers. The plants that result from this cross in the F1 generation have both purple and white flowers. What can the scientist conclude?

Let's say the dominant colour is purple (P) and the recessive colour is white (w). The purple plant may be $PP or Pw$ The white plant can only be $ww$...

Can the plant's cell wall burst if it is too full of water molecules? If so, why, how, and what would the plant and an individual cell look like? Also, is that why cut flowers wilt and die?

Under normal circumstances the cell wall will prevent too much water from entering. When the wall is weakened through the use of enzymes or freezing. The cut flowers get weak...
