(7) How might the Punnett Square below be used as evidence to support the
idea that genetic information is passed onto offspring through meiosis
followed by fertilization?

A. When the female gamete for a
purple flower is pollinated with a
male gamete for a purple flower,
the offspring is purple.
B. The Punnett Square shows with
certainty what an offspring would
look like if two organisms produce
offspring
C. The pistil and pollen are diploid
cells and donate two alleles to each
offspring, resulting in the traits for the
organism.
D. The Punnett Square shows the
possible combinations of alleles when
chromosomes replicate from meiosis.
