Question

What would happen if SpongeBob crossed a Poofkin with red flowers with a Poofkin with blue flowers. Create a Punnett square to determine the chances of each flower color. (R represents a red gene and B represents a blue gene.) How many of the plants would have Blue flowers? _____%

Answer 1

Answer:

THE NUMBER OF PLANTS WITH BLUE FLOWERS (BB) = 0%

Explanation:

The Punnett square is a pictorial  square representation that aids the determination of the genotypes of a specific cross or breeding research study. It is coined after Reginald C. Punnett, who developed the method.

The pictorial square representation is employed by biologists to evaluate the probability of an offspring possessing a specific genotype.

R - Red gene

B - Blue gene

Red - RR

Blue - BB

Purple -RB

Punnet Square

     |  R     |   R

___|____|_______

      |         |

B    |  RB   | RB

___|____ |______

      |          |

B     | RB    | RB

___ |____ |______

The plants with red flowers (RR) = 0%

The plants with purple flowers (RB) = 100%

THE PLANTS WITH BLUE FLOWERS (BB) = 0%

P.S. The attached images represents the Punnet Square

Answer 2

The number of plants that will have blue flowers if Spongebob crosses a Poofkin with red flowers and another Poofkin with blue flowers, as shown in the Punnett Square is: 0%.

Given that:

• R represents a red gene
• B represents a blue gene

Thus,

• Red flower would be RR
• Blue flower would be BB

The cross between a Poofkin that has red flowers and the one with blue flowers has been shown using a Punnett square in the attachment below.

From the cross in the Punnett Square, we can see that all we got was a Poofkin with flowers having the gene, BR.

A Poofkin with blue flowers will have a genotype of BB.

Therefore, number of plants that will have blue flowers if Spongebob crosses a Poofkin with red flowers and another Poofkin with blue flowers, as shown in the Punnett Square is: 0%.
