In a cross between two heterozygous tall and purple flowers (TtPp x TtPp), what would the ratio be?

9:3:3:1

Explanation:

This question involves two different genes coding for height and flower color respectively. The first gene posseses allele T (dominant) and t (recessive) while the second gene possesses allele P (dominant) and p (recessive).

According to this question, two heterozygous tall and purple flowers are crossed i.e. (TtPp x TtPp). Each parent will produce the following gametes combination:

TtPp - TP, Tp, tP, tp

Using these gametes in a punnet square, the following proportion of offsprings will be produced:

T_P_ (tall, purple) = 9

T_pp (tall, white) = 3

ttP_ (short, purple) = 3

ttpp (short, white) = 1

Hence, the ratio of this cross is 9:3:3:1

i think its the first one

if the type of the food available changes, then the frequency of beak types will change, because birds with beaks more suited to the available food will be more successful over time.
