(picture 1 is for question 1, and picture 2 is for question 2)

Answer 1

1. is 0% because the dominant trait takes over

2. is 25% chance

     

Answer 2

Punnett square is a diagrammatic representation of genotypes of a distinct cross in organisms.

It is used to know the result of the genotype of the offspring having either having single or multiple traits.

The correct answers are:

1.Option C. 0%

The explanation of the above answer is:

In the Punnett square the cross is between the purebred dominant and purebred recessive parent.

This will result in all the offspring having a heterogeneous genotype trait carrying purple colour. Hence 0% will carry white colour.

2. Option D. 25%

It can be explained as:

Due to the presence of heterogenous parent species. It will result in 25% of offspring carrying white colour.

Therefore, in question 1, 0% of plants will be white while in another question 25% of the offspring will carry the white colour trait.
