Please use the following information to answer the question(s) below.
Two true-breeding stocks of pea plants are crossed. One parent has red axial flowers and the other has white terminal flowers; all F1 individuals have red axial flowers. The genes for flower color and location assort independently.
-If 1,000 F2 offspring resulted from the cross, approximately how many of them would you expect to have red terminal flowers?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The F1 generation shows red axial flowers, indicating red and axial are dominant traits. In the F2 generation, the expected phenotypic ratio for two independently assorting traits is 9:3:3:1. Red terminal flowers represent one of the 3/16 categories, so 3/16 of 1,000 is approximately 190.
