Question

Explain how parents with purple flowers can have offspring with white flowers. Use an exhaustively labeled Punnett Square and the following terms in your answer: dominant vs. recessive, homozygote vs. heterozygote, genotype vs. phenotype, locus vs. allele, phenotype ratio vs. genotypic ratio.

Answer 1

I have used all the terms in the answer as said by you

Purple flowen / - The allele responsible for is dominant, represented by "F". The allele responsible for white flowen is the recessive one of represented by f! The dominant allele always express itself whether present in homozygous form (FF) or het erozygote form (FA) at the locus. The dominant allele always maiks the expression of the recessive the present at the locus always express itself. allele & So, if we will choss two hete & erozygote plant having allelic combination "Fri then , Male female f. FFFFF ffrir Here, the parenta are also purple colon. "FF" Out of the 4 genotypes produced, the genotypic ratio will be FF: Ef: ff - 1:21 ]

Also here ff : pample flower F fa purple flowen ff & white flowen Phenotypic ration ratio will be , 3:1 for (purple Flowen white flowen The allelic combination is known as genotype, while the morphological character shown by the alle lic combination (FF, Ff, ff) rs known as phenotype (flower - Coloum).
