Name the relationship between the two alleles that code for flower colour.
A dwarf, pink-flowered plant was crossed with a heterozygous tall, white-flowered plant.
Complete the genetic diagram to show all the possible genotypes and the ratio of phenotypes expected in the offspring of this cross.
Phenotypes of parents: Dwarf, pink-flowered × Tall, white-flowered
Genotypes of parents:
Genotypes of offspring:
Phenotypes of offspring:
Ratio of phenotypes:
A population of this species of plant contained 9% of red-flowered plants.
Use the Hardy–Weinberg equation to calculate the percentage of pink-flowered plants in this population.
