Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
In a population of pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant over white flowers (p). If a homozygous purple flower is crossed with a homozygous white flower, what are the phenotypes and genotypes of the offspring? What would happen if two heterozygous purple flowers were crossed?
💡 Hint: Use Punnett squares to visualize the crossings.
A pea plant has the genotype AaBb, where A and a represent one trait and B and b another. Determine the possible gametes produced from this genotype and explain your reasoning.
💡 Hint: Think about how you can mix and match the alleles from both traits.
