In radishes, the gene that controls color exhibits incomplete dominance. Pure-breeding red radishes crossed with pure-breeding w

Answer:

Genotype Ratio = 1 RW: 1 WW

Phenotype = 1 Purple: 1 White

Explanation:

The gene for the color of radishes exhibits incomplete dominance and the heterozygous genotype gives purple color to radishes. The genotype of the heterozygous parent plant with purple radishes would be "RW." A cross between a purple radish (RW) and a white radish (WW) would give progeny in the following ratio.
