In flowers, purple flower color is dominant and denoted by "P" while white flower color is recessive and is denoted by "p". In a monohybrid cross between 2 heterozygous purple flowers, what is the expected phenotypic offspring ratio?
In currant moths, their Light color is sex-linked and recessive (d) to dark color (D).
Question: What are the genotype and the phenotype of the parents if a certain cross yields ½ dark and ½ light colored females and all dark males?
