βTwo parents are both heterozygous for a trait where the dominant allele is represented by A and the recessive allele by a. Create a Punnett square to show the possible genetic combinations for their offspring. What is the probability that their child will express the recessive trait? A plant species has a trait for flower color where red (R) is dominant and white (r) is recessive. If a homozygous red flowered plant (RR) is crossed with a heterozygous red flowered plant (Rr), create a Punnett square to show the possible genetic combinations for their offspring. What is the probability that an offspring will have white flowers?β
