Answer:
7/16
Explanation:
<em>The proportion of the offspring from the cross that will have white flowers is 7/16.</em>
The presence of anthocyanin which determines purple coloration is conditioned by the C_ and P_ alleles. It means that the absence of one or both of C and P will result in white flowers.
Two plants, each with CcPp are crossed:
CcPp x CcPp
Offpring
1 CCPP - purple
2 CCPp - purple
2 CcPP - purple
4 CcPp - purple
2 Ccpp - white
1 CCpp - white
1 ccPP - white
2 ccPp - white
1 ccpp - white
Proportion of offspring with white flowers = 7/16
Proportion of offspring with purple flower = 9/16
