We start by first putting in out known genotypes (above). We
only do these calculations for 2 parents that will breed. We know that
our recessive trait is bb and the other is either BB or Bb, so we use the
term B? for the time being. Our next step is to fill in the box with what
we can calculate.
The first row of offspring Bb and Bb will have the dominant
trait of Golden Bud. The ?b and ?b can either be Bb Bb, or bb bb. This
will either lead to an offspring that will produce more golden bud (Bb),
or silver bud (bb). There are 2 possible outcomes. Let us fill in the 2
possible values of ? and see that this is true.
The first possible outcome is where ? = B. This means the all
are offspring will have Golden bud.
