In a population of plants, the allele for purple flowers (P) is dominant over the allele for white flowers (p). If two heterozygous plants (Pp) are crossed, what percentage of the offspring will have purple flowers?
💡 Hint: Make sure to set up the Punnett square correctly.
Consider a dihybrid cross where a plant with genotype RrYy (round yellow seed) is crossed with Rryy (round green seed). What is the expected phenotypic ratio of the offspring?
💡 Hint: Remember to account for both traits when setting up your ratios.
