2. In pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant to white flowers p).Two plants, both heterozygous for the gene that controls flower color are crossed. What percentage of their offspring will have purple
flowers?

When two heterozygous parents are crossed together, the genotype will be:

  • Two (50%) heterozygous purple flowers (Pp)
  • One (25%) homozygous purple flower (PP)
  • One (25%) of homozygous white flower (pp)

And for the phenotype, since one dominant allele is enough to concealed the recessive traits. The probability that the offspring will bear the purple flower is 75% and the chances that the offspring will bear the white flower would be 25%.

To answer your question, what percentage of their offspring will have purple flowers?

  • Purple flowers= 75%
  • White flowers =25%
