When Mendel crossed two plants that were heterozygous for the trait of flower color, the genotype he could have used to represent the cross is:
b. Pp ´ Pp
This genotype represents a cross between two plants that are heterozygous for the trait, meaning they both have one dominant allele (P) for flower color (let's say purple flowers) and one recessive allele (p) for the alternate flower color (let's say white flowers). This cross allows for the observation and understanding of Mendel's principles of inheritance, particularly regarding dominant and recessive alleles.
