In a certain plant, yellow leaves are dominant (Y) and red leaves are recessive (y). A plant with genotype Yy and a plant with Yy are crossed. If they have four offspring, how many would you predict would have red leaves?

Based on a simple Punnett square, you could predict that one of the offspring (with the genotype yy) would present with red leaves. The other three offspring would present the phenotype of the yellow leaves, because the dominant gene (Y) is present (genetypes Yy, yY, and YY).

Answer: 1 offspring!!
