In pea plants, purple flower color is dominant over white. If one sees a purple pea plant and has no prior knowledge of its ancestry, what can be said its genotype?

A. It is pp

B. It is Pp

C. It is PP

D. It is either PP or Pp

Expert Solution

Answer ------ (D) IT CAN BE EITHER PP OR Pp

IN THE PEA PLANT WHEN THERE IS A DOMINANCE OF THE PURPLE FLOWER OVER THE WHITE FLOWER THEN WHEN WE CROSS THIS MONOHYBRID CROSS WE WILL GET THIS RESULTS.

In this case, we will be getting all the Pp allele in the F1 cross that will be purple phenotypically and when we will go for the F2 cross we will see the 1:2:1 ratio that will be PP: Pp: pp in the ratio 1:2:1 where the PP and Pp will be the purple due to the dominance of the purple over white and only one will be white which will make the phenotypical ratio be 3:1

SO if anyone sees the purple color flower and has no knowledge of the ancestry then the possible genotype in that case be either Pp or PP both.

SO the answer is D.

Thank you GOOD WISHES please leave a rating.

1. In snapdragons, red flower color (CR) is incompletely dominant to white flower color (CW). The heterozygote has pink flowers. Normal broad leaves (LB) are incompletely dominant to narrow, grass-like leaves, (LN). The heterozygote has an intermediate leaf width. If a red-flowered, narrow-leaved snapdragon is crossed with a white-flowered broad-leaved one, what will be the phenotypes in the F1and F2generations, and what will be the proportions of the different classes?

In Mendel's pea plants, the genes that code for flower color, seed color and seed shape are on 3 different chromosomes. For flower color, purple is dominant over white, yellow seeds are dominant over green and round seeds are dominant over wrinkled seeds. If you crossed two parents who were heterozygous for all 3 genes, how many purple flowered, round and yellow seeded plants would you expect in the offspring generation? correct answer is 27/64 please show work thank you
