The “P” gene controls flower color in pea plants. A plant with either the PP or Pp genotype has purple flowers, while a plant with the pp genotype has white flowers. What is the relationship between P and p
Answer:
Genetics always helps individuals to find out genotypic relationship when a cross between two types of gene takes place.One gene is considered as dominant and the other as recessive,dominant gene is denoted by capital letter and the recessive with small letter.In the given problem trait is colour of flower that is purple (dominant) and white (recessive) based on which we need to find out genotypic relationship.Dominant colour purple is denoted as P and recessive white colour is denoted as p.PP indicates purple colour and pp indicates white colour which are crossed.When they are crossed four outcomes are resulted they are 1 PP , 2Pp and 1 pp,PP indicates purple flowers and pp indicates white colour flowers. 2 Pp which are resulted indicates purple flowers because P allele is dominant to p.So,in this problem genotype pp is white colour.
