Answer:

Punnet square can be described as a diagram which is used to check the probability of offsprings produced by crossing over of parents.

If a homozygous white plant is crossed with a heterozygous white plant, then none of the F1 offsprings will not have purple flowers. Considering white-flowered plant to be dominant for the trait.

If a heterozygous white plant is crossed with a heterozygous white plant, then about 25% of the F1 plants will have purple flowers. Considering white trait to be dominant.

If the purple flower color is dominant to white, then 50% of the offspring will have purple flowers.

What are heterozygous individuals?

Heterozygous individuals are individuals who have two different alleles of a given gene locus.

  • Homo-zygous individuals are individuals who have the same allele of a given gene locus.

  • In complete dominance, the recessive allele is completely masked by the dominant alleles in heterozygous individuals.

In conclusion, if the purple flower color is dominant to white, then 50% of the offspring will have purple flowers.
