What is the probability of getting pea plants with the purpl
What is the probability of getting pea plants with the purple flowers, tall stature, wrinkled peas, and terminal flowers when crossing the following genotypes: PPTtRraa x PpttRrAa. Express your answer as a reduced fraction such as 3/16. (Hint: used the forked method shown in your textbook.)
Solution
PPTtRraa x PpttRrAa.
chance of purple: PP X Pp --------> 1
chance of tall stature: Tt X tt ---------> 1/2
chance of tall wrinkled peas: Rr X Rr ----------> 1/4
chance of terminal flowers: aa X Aa ------------> 1/2
Hence, the probability of getting pea plants with the purple flowers, tall stature, wrinkled peas, and terminal flowers will be- 1 x 1/2 x 1/4 x 1/2 = 1/16
