Question 22

A student wants to investigate genetics in pea plants by replicating one of Gregor Mendel's classic hybridisation experiments.

They are provided with the equipment shown in the diagram:

Equipment for the genetic cross experiment: A purple-flowered pea plant, a white-flowered pea plant, a small paintbrush, and a seed tray containing compost. All items are clearly labelled.

Describe how the student could use this equipment to carry out the genetic cross between the purple-flowered and white-flowered plants, and determine the flower colour of the offspring produced.
