A purple-flowered pea plant has the genotype PP. Which of the following statements about this plant is false? It is of the true-breeding variety. When bred to a white-flowered plant, its offspring will all be purple. Its phenotype is white. The gametes produced will all have the same flower color allele. It has a homozygous dominant genotype.

In pea plants, purple flower color is a dominant trait, and white flower color is a recessive trait. A cross between a purple pea plant and a white pea plant yields all purple pea plants. Which of the following would be the predicted genotype of the purple parent? P denotes the dominant allele, and p denotes the recessive allele. Select one: a. pp b. Pp c. PP d. cannot be determined from the information provided

In pea plants, purple flower color (P) is a dominant allele while white flower color (p) is a recessive allele. If a pea plant has the genotype Pp, what is its phenotype? How do you know? Explain how dihybrid cross demonstrates the principles of Independent Assortment. How might a phenotypic ratio be useful? Consider the use of a Punnett square to study genetic disorders to help you answer this question.

The dominant allele for flower color in pea plants is P. Plants with the dominant phenotype have purple flowers. The recessive allele is p. Plants with the recessive phenotype have white flowers. You breed one plant with purple flowers with a plant that has white flowers. What can you predict for certain about the offspring? Choose the single best answer. None of the offspring will have purple flowers. All will have white flowers. Some of the offspring, and possibly all the offspring, will have purple flowers. Half the offspring will have purple flowers, and half the offspring will have white flowers. All of the offspring will definitely have purple flowers.
