Mendel finds a new species of pea plant that produces two different flower colors, white and blue, based off of a single gene with two alleles. He crosses together two parents, a true-breeding white and a true- breeding blue flowered plant. All of the plants in the F1 generation have blue flowers. Two of the F1 offspring are mated. What proportion of the blue F2 offspring is expected to be homozygous? O2/3 O1/2 1/3 1/4
