Answer:

b

Explanation:

First, let us look at the result of crossing the two genotypes Mmpp and mmpp.

Mmpp will give the gametes Mp, Mp, mp, and mp

mmpp will give the gametes mp, mp, mp, and mp

The two sets of gametes can thus be lined up on both axis of the Punnet's square as shown in the attached image.

Genotypes of the offspring: 8 Mmpp and 8 mmpp

<u>Since the two genes follow simple Mendelian inheritance pattern, the 2 genotypes automatically equates to 2 phenotypes in the ratio 1:1.</u>

<em>Hence, the correct option is </em><em>b</em><em>.</em>
