You cross non-pure purple-flowered plants (Pp) and produce 200 offspring.
Which of the following statements about the offspring is correct?
A. There is a 25% chance that each offspring will have purple
flowers.
B. All of the offspring will definitely have purple flowers.
C. 150 of the offspring will definitely have purple flowers.
D. There is a 75% chance that each offspring will have purple flowers.

Respuesta :

The cross involves non-pure purple-flowered plants (Pp), indicating that each parent carries one dominant allele (P) for purple flowers and one recessive allele (p) for non-purple flowers.

When crossing these plants, we can use Punnett squares to determine the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring. Since both parents carry the dominant allele (P), there's a 50% chance that each offspring will inherit the dominant allele and thus have purple flowers.

Based on this, the correct statement is:

A. There is a 25% chance that each offspring will have purple flowers.
