Answer:

50% probability of Pp (purple) or pp (white) genotype.

Explanation:

P = purple gene

p = white gene

Punnet squares show the possible genotypes and probabilities of each genotype in the offspring of a cross:

Purple flower genotype (heterozygous) = Pp

White flower genotype = pp

Punnet Square:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}&P&p\\p&Pp&pp\\p&Pp&pp\end{array}\right]

Potential genotypes for offspring are Pp and pp;

According to the Punnett square, 2 of 4 offspring will have the Pp genotype and the other 2 will have pp genotypes;

This means 2 should be purple and 2 white;

Or, there is a 50% chance of having either genotype, of being purple or white.

Let us assume the following:

  • Flower color is represented by the allele A.
  • Hence, the dominant purple color would be A, while the alternate white color would be represented by a.

From the above assumptions, a heterozygous purple flower would have the genotype Aa, while a white flower would have the genotype aa.

Now, crossing the two flowers:

       Aa    x    aa

   Aa   Aa   aa   aa

From the results of the cross, the offspring's genotypes, phenotypes, and their respective probabilities would be as follows:

  • Aa - purple color - 1/2
  • aa - white flower color - 1/2

In order words, the cross will yield offspring with purple color flower (genotype, Aa) and white flower color (genotype, aa) each with 1/2 probability.

What is the major cause of the greenhouse effect? view available hint(s) what is the major cause of the greenhouse effect? exces
Strike441 [17]
The major causes of the greenhouse effect is excessive carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is a process that warms the Earth's surface. When the Sun's energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by green house gases, such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, metahne, nitrous oxide, and ozone. The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth.
