The Punnett square above shows a cross between two sweet pea plants in Mendel's greenhouse. Both parents have blue flowers (Bb).
Which statement describes the offspring expected from this cross?
Responses
A 50% white-flowered and 50% blue-flowered50% white-flowered and 50% blue-flowered
B 75% white-flowered and 25% blue-flowered75% white-flowered and 25% blue-flowered
C 75% blue-flowered and 25% white-flowered75% blue-flowered and 25% white-flowered
D 100% blue-flowered and 0% white-flowered
C 75% blue-flowered and 25% white-flowered
This is because the Punnett square shows that there is a 75% chance of inheriting the allele for blue flowers (B) and a 25% chance of inheriting the allele for white flowers (b).
