In mendels pea plants, the homozygous recessive phenotype was white flowers. If Mendel crossed two homozygous recessive pea plants, what color flowers would be seen in the offspring?

Homozygous recessive means both alleles are recessive white.

Crossing two homozygous will have the result:

    w     w

w  ww  ww

w  ww  ww

So the offstprings will have a 100% phenotype of white, since they are all homozygous recessive alleles.

White flower colors would be seen in the offspring if Mendel crossed two homzygous recessive pea plants.

  • According to this question, the flower color traits of pea plants were observed by Mendel. White flower (w) is said to be a RECESSIVE PHENOTYPE.

  • A homzygous trait is one that has two identical alleles for a gene while recessive means a trait whose phenotypic expression is masked by another.

If Mendel crossed two homzygous recessive pea plants i.e. ww × ww, gametes w will be produced by each parent, hence, only WHITE FLOWER colors would be seen in the offsprings.
