Find the possible offsprings of two purple colored berry trees with blue color as the dominant trait(B). Identify the genotype and the phenotype of the offsprings.​

Answer (1)

Here's a short explanation of how we arrive at the possible offspring: - Parent Genotypes: Both parent trees are purple, but carry the dominant blue allele, so they have the genotype Bb.- Punnett Square: To determine the offspring possibilities, we use a Punnett square:
B b B BB Bb b Bb bb  - Offspring Genotypes: From the Punnett square, we see the following possible genotypes:- BB: Blue berries (homozygous dominant)- Bb: Blue berries (heterozygous)- bb: Purple berries (homozygous recessive)- Offspring Phenotypes: Since blue (B) is dominant, both BB and Bb genotypes result in blue berries. Only the bb genotype results in purple berries. Therefore, the offspring have a 75% chance of having blue berries and a 25% chance of having purple berries.
