You can infer that the Bonnie Blue Parent Plant's parents have made babies and the babies have inherited the features of the Bonnie Blue Parents .
They are hearty plant. They don't need a lot of nutrition.
This helps to raise the offsprings chance of survival, at the same time ensuring the parent plants survival. If the seeds land close to the parent plant competition for resources such as water, sunlight, and nutrients will take place, weakening both the offspring plants as well as the parent plant.
The little r stands for a recessive wrinkled trait.
To figure this out, use a Punnet Square.First, set up a test cross, like this:Rr x rrThis shows what you are crossing. Now you can make a Punnet Square.R rr Rr rr There is a 50/50 chance that the corn plant will have thegenotype rr.r Rr rr
No. While the new plants will look similar to the parent plants, seeds are the result of assexual reproduction and assexual reproduction means that the offspring are all unique. In other words there will be variation in exactly the same way as children do not look exactly the same as their parents.
To produce a pea plant that only displays the recessive phenotype both of the parents must also have the recessive phenotype. In a four square, if one parent displays the recessive phenotype while the other has the dominant phenotype, one of every four offspring should theoretically receive the recessive phenotype as well, but if you want all offspring to be recessive, both parents must also be recessive.

he breeded the f1 plants with a recessive homozygous plant and if the offspring (f2) showed the recessive allele, then the recessive allele is still present in the f1 plant
You would expect 1 homozygous dominant, 2 heterozygous dominant and 1 homozygous recessive offspring. This is because each parent has one dominant and one recessive allele. Therefore there is a 75% chance of a dominant phenotype and a 25% chance of a recessive phenotype.
both must be tt or both must be Tt
both must be tt or both must be Tt
he breeded the f1 plants with a recessive homozygous plant and if the offspring (f2) showed the recessive allele, then the recessive allele is still present in the f1 plant
Recessive genes
A homozygous plant
I take it you're referring to the phenotype. Say a trait, like flower colour, is influenced by a single gene. The plant will possess two copies of the gene, one from each parent, but only one colour is expressed. Let's say that red is dominant and white is recessive. A plant containing 2 red alleles (homozygous for the dominant allele) will be red. A plant containing 2 copies of the white allele (Homozygous recessive) will be white and heterozygous plant, containing a single copy of both alleles will be red. There is no heterozygous recessive because the dominant allele will determine the phenotype.
Do a testcross with a homozygous recessive plant.
Do a testcross with a homozygous recessive plant.
Make a Punnet Square:White HETEROZYGOUS---WwRed HOMOZYGOUS--ww (this one is recessive because the white characteristic dominated in the heterozygous type)So:W ww Ww www Ww wwThese four are the potential types of the offspring, they will either be HETEROZYGOUS WHITE or HOMOZYGOUS RED, no homozygous white
