what would happen if your cross ared flower (RR) with a blue flower (WW)?the heterozygose results is a purpelflower (RW) ?Identify the genotype andpenotype. How many of the offspringwill have red flower? purpel flower?
Answer (1)
Answer:Okay, so you're asking about a cross between a red flower (RR) and a blue flower (WW), resulting in a purple flower (RW). You want to know the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring, and how many would have red and purple flowers. Let's break it down: Genotype: The genetic makeup of an organism. - Red Flower (RR): This is homozygous dominant, meaning it has two copies of the dominant allele (R).- Blue Flower (WW): This is homozygous recessive, meaning it has two copies of the recessive allele (W).- Purple Flower (RW): This is heterozygous, meaning it has one dominant allele (R) and one recessive allele (W). Phenotype: The physical expression of the genes. Now, let's look at the possible offspring from this cross: - Parent 1 (Red): RR- Parent 2 (Blue): WW When we cross them, we get: R R W RW RW W RW RW All offspring will be RW (purple flower) because the red allele (R) is dominant over the blue allele (W). Answer: - Genotype: All offspring will have the RW genotype.- Phenotype: All offspring will have the purple flower phenotype.- Number of Red Flowers: None- Number of Purple Flowers: All offspring will be purple.
