1)? In sweat peas, the allele for purple flowers is dominant to the allele for white flowers. If a researcher crosses a heterozygous purple flowered plant with a white flowered plant, what are the potential genotypes of the offspring?
2. ?Also in sweet peas, the allele for yellow seeds is dominant to the allele for green seeds. If a researcher crosses a heterozygous yellow seeded plant with a green seeded plant, what are the potential phenotypes of the offspring?
3.? Draw in the two boxes below the Punnett Square for each of the above crosses:
1.? In sweat peas, the allele for purple flowers is dominant to the allele for white flowers. If a researcher crosses a heterozygous purple flowered plant with a white flowered plant, what are the potential genotypes of the offspring?
Purple: Hh or HH
White: hh
Cross: Hh x hh
*I selected the letter H since it is easier to tell between its capital or lower case letters.
h h
H Hh Hh
h hh hh
So as you can see above the potential genotypes are Hh or hh (both having 50% probability of occuring.
2. ?Also in sweet peas, the allele for yellow seeds is dominant to the allele for green seeds. If a researcher crosses a heterozygous yellow seeded plant with a green seeded plant, what are the potential phenotypes of the offspring?
Yellow: Hh or HH
Green: hh
h h
H Hh Hh
h hh hh
Again the answer is the same as for question 1. The possible genotypes are Hh and hh (both with 50% probability)
3.? Draw in the two boxes below the Punnett Square for each of the above crosses:
I have my punnett square boxes for both within their respective questions. Note that you can select any letters that you wish to use to represent each phenotype's genotype. I only used H again since it would be easier to show a capital vs lowercase letter.
