CSEC Biology · January 2009 · Paper 2 · Question 3(a)(i)

Complete the chart in Figure 3, using letters and words as appropriate, to show the inheritance of flower colour when two pure-breeding varieties of Impatiens are crossed. The heterozygous phenotype is pink.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
