<span>Crossover is the first way that genes are shuffled to give rise to genetic diversity. Crossover takes place in sexual reproduction. Chromosomes line up side by side and break off pieces of themselves, then trade those pieces with each other. When they break at the same place (locus) in the sequence of base pairs, the result is an exchange of genes called genetic recombination. That is the normal way for crossover to occur. Genetic recombination ensures that the daughter cells produced have a different genetic makeup from the parent cell and thus diversity is created.</span>

20 heterozygous purple flowering pea plants are crossed. If purple is dominant over white, what are the expected phenotypic resu
Elenna [48]
Let's call the colour alleles C for dominant purple, and c for recessive white.

We have crossed Cc with Cc.  So if we put that in a Punnett square, we'd have a CC, two Cc and a cc.  That would give us a 3:1 ratio of purple to white, so you'd expect 15 purple and 5 white flowers. :)
