Detailed explanation-1: -pp. Heterozygous Cross. Half of the offspring will be heterozygous (Pp) and half will be homozygous recessive (pp). The phenotypic ratio will also be 1:1. Half will exhibit the purple flower (Pp) trait and half will have white flowers (pp).
Detailed explanation-2: -Homozygous, as related to genetics, refers to having inherited the same versions (alleles) of a genomic marker from each biological parent. Thus, an individual who is homozygous for a genomic marker has two identical versions of that marker.
Detailed explanation-3: -Homozygous recessive is a term used to describe an organism that carries two identical copies of the recessive gene. Explore the definition of homozygous recessive along with examples of genetic disorders that occur as a result of this gene. Updated: 09/10/2021.
