I can help you with the punnet square. Do you know the genotypes though?

Answer 4

Thanks. I honestly don't.

Answer 5

I think if we do the punnet square we can find the genotype?

Answer 6

Well, the allele for a purple stem is P and is dominant.
For a green stem, it is p, which is recessive.

The allele for a cut leaf is C, which is dominant.
The allele for a potato-type is c, which is recessive.

A plant with a purple stem and potato-type leaves would have the genotype: Pc

Can you figure out the genotype for a plant with a purple stem and cut leaves?
What about a plant with a green stem and potato-type leaves?

To make a punnet square, we must first know the genotypes of the parents.
