Help!! In this same cactus, purple flowers are dominant to yellow flowers. A cactus that has both...?

... two-pronged and one-pronged spines has yellow flowers. It is crossed with a two-pronged cactus with purple flowers (heterozygous). What are the phenotypes of the offspring and in what proportion?

If I am understanding you correctly.





Purple cactus (heterozygote for the dominant purple flower )is crossed with a recessive yellow flower.





if P = purple and p = yellow





Pp x pp





offspring = Pp, Pp, pp and pp.





Phenotype would then = 2 purple and 2 yellow.
Reply:Assuming that these two are not linked genes and segregate separately: Two-pronged one-pronged purple, two-pronged purple, one-pronged purple, two-pronged one-pronged yellow, two-pronged yellow, and one-pronged yellow
