Question 16

In tomato plants, the allele for purple stem ( $P$ ) is dominant to the allele for green stem ( $p$ ). Two heterozygous purple-stemmed plants ( $P p$ ) are crossed. The table below shows the number of offspring of each phenotype produced from this cross:

Phenotype	Number of offspring
Purple stem	1341
Green stem	447

Calculate the number of these offspring that is most likely to be heterozygous.
