Answer:
9:3:3:1
Explanation:
This question involves two different genes coding for height and flower color respectively. The first gene posseses allele T (dominant) and t (recessive) while the second gene possesses allele P (dominant) and p (recessive).
According to this question, two heterozygous tall and purple flowers are crossed i.e. (TtPp x TtPp). Each parent will produce the following gametes combination:
TtPp - TP, Tp, tP, tp
Using these gametes in a punnet square, the following proportion of offsprings will be produced:
T_P_ (tall, purple) = 9
T_pp (tall, white) = 3
ttP_ (short, purple) = 3
ttpp (short, white) = 1
Hence, the ratio of this cross is 9:3:3:1
