Question

In snapdragons, there is one allele that produces red flowers and another allele that produces white flowers. Neither allele is dominant and heterozygous individuals have pink flowers. A plant breeder decides to cross a red-flowered snapdragon with a pink-flowered snapdragon. What percentage of the offspring do you expect will have red-flowers? ( Enter the number only without the percent sign. For example, enter 100% as 100 and enter 12.5% as 12.5)

Answer 1

Answer:

50

Explanation:

A punnet square can be described as a diagram which illustrates all the possible outcomes of a cross. It is used to tell about the percentage chances for the kinds of genes being transferred to offsprings.

In order to check the percentage of red flowers we can draw a punnet square. As red flower is a recessive trait and pink flower a heterozygous trait,the punnet square shows that a cross between them will give 50 percent red flowers and 50 percent pink flowers.
