Pink flowers are the results or offspring of the cross of red and white parental generation. Red flowers gentoype are generally referred to as RR, the uppercase R refers to the red pigment which is dominant over the ww, or white recessive. Using a punnett square of the RR x ww cross... RR x ww Rw Rw genotype: 1 (100%) Rw Rw Rw phenotype: 1 (100%) pink ...yields 100% pink flowers with the genotpe of Rw. An easy way to remember the difference between phenotype and genotype is that both phenotype and physical begin with ph and pehnotype refers to physical appearances/frdcriptions.
The recessive trait phenotype disappears in a one-trait test cross in the F1 generation. This phenotype can reappear in the F2 generation.
Phenotype is the physical appearance of an organism. Genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism. For example, if you cross two plants that have the genetic makeup RR for flowers (let's say they're red), then the offspring will all have RR for flowers (homozygous red). The genotype is 100% RR, and the phenotype is 100% Red.
The phenotypic rationof a dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1
the phenotype ratio is the physical appearance
A test cross.

If an individual is of the dominant phenotype, its genotype can be either AA or Aa (letter A picked for demonstration's sake). To do a good test cross, we have to be able to unambiguously tell which one of the genotypes the individual is. The best test cross would be conducted with a homozygous recessive (aa) individual. This way, if the cross generates 100% dominant phenotype, then the original individual was homozygous dominant. If the cross generates 50% dominant and 50% recessive phenotype, then the original individual was heterozygous.
Test Cross
To determine the genotype of an individual that shows the dominant phenotype you would cross that individual with one that is homozygous recessive. A monohybrid cross of two individuals that are heterozygous for a trait exhibiting complete dominance would probably result in a phenotype ratio is 3 dominant 1 recessive.

i have not successfully cross bread flowers but this apparently can be done by planting certain species next to one another.
