All F1 individuals had red, terminal flowers. If 100 F2offspring were counted, how many of them would you expect to havered, axial flowers? Answer: 19 (3/16) Can someone explain in detail how to do this problem? Two true-breeding varieties of garden peas are crossed.

If 100 F2offspring were counted, how many of them would you expect to havered, axial flowers? Answer: 19 (3/16)Explanation / Answer
It should be like this I think: I'm assuming that one of the traits (red or axial) is dominantwhile the other is recessive. Since one of the offspring's trait is dominant and one isrecessive, it should go like this: 3/4 for the dominant one and 1/4 for the recessive one. 3/4 x 1/4 3/16 3x100/19 = 18.75, which is almost 19.
