When Mendel crossed purebred purple flowering plants (PP) with purebred white flowering plants (pp), what were the flower colors of the resulting offspring? 25 percent white and 75 percent purple 50 percent white and 50 percent purple 100 percent purple 100 percent white



Answer :

The answer is 100 percent purple

Let P be dominant allele for purple flowers and p recessive allele for white flowers. So purebred purple flower has two P alleles and its genotype is PP and purebread white flower has two p alleles and its genotype is pp. Since P is dominant over p, when found together like in heterozygous plants (Pp), the flowers will express dominant allele and will be purple.
So, a cross between purebred purple flowering plants (PP) with purebred white flowering plants (pp) will have 100% of the offspring with genotype Pp and purple flower color.

WHAT IS MENDEL CROSS:

  • Gregor Mendel, who is referred to as the FATHER OF GENETICS, crossed pea plants using several of their characters.

  • He crossed purebred purple flowering plants (PP) with purebred white flowering plants (pp) to obtain offsprings that were all purple flowered (Pp).

Therefore, it can be said that when Mendel crossed purebred purple flowering plants (PP) with purebred white flowering plants (pp), the flower colors of the resulting offspring is: 100 percent purple.
