Because they have less resources to fight off disease and nothing to use for immunity. Sub Sahara Africa is also very poor
Meiosis. Sexual recombination. Crossing over. Independent assortment. Mutations.
The two MAIN sources would be genetic(sexual) recombination and mutations. Mutations allow for genetic variation, while genetic recombination allows for genetic shuffling. :)
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]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D%26P%26p%5C%5Cp%26Pp%26pp%5C%5Cp%26Pp%26pp%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
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.
