Purple flowers are dominant over white flowers, and green pods are dominant over yellow pods in pea plants. What would the probability be of producing a pea plant with white flowers and yellow pods from parent plants that are heterozygous for each trait?
Added by Gregory R.
Step 1
Since they are heterozygous for each trait, we can represent their genotypes as follows: Purple flowers: Pp (where P represents the dominant purple allele and p represents the recessive white allele) White flowers: pp Green pods: Gg (where G represents the Show more…

a plant can produce either purple flowers or white flower. What is the probability of purple-flowered offspring if two plants are heterozygous for purple flowers are crossed ?
