Vedclass · Answer

(C) This is a test cross where a heterozygous individual $(Pp)$ is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual $(pp)$.The gametes produced by the heterozygous purple flower $(Pp)$ are $P$ and $p$.The gametes produced by the recessive white flower $(pp)$ are only $p$.When these gametes fuse,the resulting genotypes are:$P 	imes p = Pp$ (Purple flower)$p 	imes p = pp$ (White flower)Thus,the progeny consists of $50\%$ purple flowers $(Pp)$ and $50\%$ white flowers $(pp)$.

$A$ heterozygous purple flower is crossed with a recessive white flower. What is the ratio of the progeny?
