In a few months, you receive a brief note from the breeder that he checked the four offspring and three have the purple trait and one has the white trait. Since only four offspring were produced, there are not necessarily enough offspring to observe the ratio you predicted. What is the probability of observing three purple and one white offspring: If the purple parent is Pp

Complete question:

1) Inspired by Gregor Mendel, you visit a local greenhouse to see what a pea plant looks like in person. You spot a plant in the corner and immediately notice that it exhibits the purple trait of the flower color character. This character is controlled by one gene with two alleles, the dominant purple P allele, and the recessive white p allele. Identify what you know for certain based on your observation. Check all that apply.

2) In another corner of the greenhouse, you find another pea plant. This plant, however, exhibits the white trait of the flower color character. The greenhouse plant breeder approaches you and mentions that he plans to cross-fertilize the two plants that you have seen. He offers to let you know how the offspring turn out. Without realizing it, the breeder is actually conducting a

3) If you were able to examine hundreds of offspring from this cross, what ratio of purple flowers to white flowers would you observe:

4) In a few months, you receive a brief note from the breeder that he checked the four offspring and three have the purple trait and one has the white trait. Since only four offspring were produced, there are not necessarily enough offspring to observe the ratio you predicted. What is the probability of observing three purple and one white offspring:

5) Based on the four offspring observed, you (can/ cannot) know for certain whether the purple parent is Pp or PP.

2) A test cross

5) Based on the four offspring observed, you CAN know for certain that the purple parent is Pp.

Explanation:

Due to technical problems, you will find the complete question, the answer, and the explanation in the attached files.  

the diploid number of chromosomes is sometimes represented by the symbol 2n. for the fruit fly, the diploid number is 8, which can be written as 2n = 8, where n represents twice the number of chromosomes in a sperm or egg cell.
