Punnett Practice #4 If a pea plant that is heterozygous for 2 traits (tall and purple) is crossed with a plant that is homozygous recessive (short and white), what portion of the 9,822 peas that are produced would yield plants that are tall and white?
Tall and white is T_pp That’s 1/4 of 9822 Which is 2,455.5 Answer Tall and white is T_pp That’s 1/4 of 9822 Which is 2,455.5 or about 2456
