In a species of sweet pea, flower colour is determined by a biochemical pathway controlled by two independently assorting genes, A A\,A and BBB:
Colorless Precursor 1→Enzyme AColorless Precursor 2→Enzyme BRed Pigment \text{Colorless Precursor 1} \xrightarrow{\text{Enzyme A}} \text{Colorless Precursor 2} \xrightarrow{\text{Enzyme B}} \text{Red Pigment} Colorless Precursor 1Enzyme AColorless Precursor 2Enzyme BRed PigmentIf two plants heterozygous for both genes (AaBbAaBbAaBb) are crossed, what is the expected phenotypic ratio of red-flowered to white-flowered offspring?
