Question

you inspect an ear of corn and find the following numbers of kernels: 461 purple and starchy,142 purple and sweet, 156 yellow and starchy, 53 yellow and sweet. what genotypes and phenotypes did the parent corn plants probably have? be sure to include a punnet square (you dont have to include the punnet square but it would help a lot if you did)

Answer 1

most likely purple is the dominant gene so the options here are purple and yellow and the other options are starchy and sweet and starchy is the dominant genotype so it would probably be



Purple | Purple
Starchy | Starchy
