In the spotted tulip, white flowers are dominant to yellow (gene Y), and axial flowers are dominant terminal flowers (gene T). Each trait is on a different chromosome. Use the Punnett Square to determine the possible offspring from a cross between two plants that are heterozygous for both traits.

Answer:

9/16 A_B_ White colour, axial flower

3/16 A_bb White colour, terminal flower

3/16 aaB_ Yellow colour, axial flower

1/16 aabb Yellow colour, terminal flower

Explanation:

Let the flower colour allele be represented by A and the flower position by B. The dominant white colour would be A while the alternate version (the yellow colour) would be a. Also, the dominant axial flower position would be B while the alternate terminal position would be b.

The Punnet's square result of crossing two plants that are heterozygous for both traits is as in the attached image.
