A pea plant is heterozygous for the gene controlling flower color: Rr (red) and rr (white). Predict the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of a cross between this plant and a homozygous recessive (rr) plant.
💡 Hint: Use a Punnett square to visualize the crosses.
Mendel noted the following phenotypic ratios in a dihybrid cross: 9:3:3:1. Explain what this ratio indicates about the principle of independent assortment.
💡 Hint: Consider how different traits in organisms mix without affecting each other.
