**Genetics - Understanding Dominant and Recessive Traits in Purple People Eaters****Problem 4:**In purple people eaters, one horn (H) is a dominant trait, and no horns (h) is a recessive trait. You are asked to cross a hybrid purple people eater (one with genotype Hh) with a purple people eater with no horns (genotype hh).**Diagram Explanation:**The diagram below the problem statement represents a Punnett square, a tool used in genetics to predict the genotype and phenotype of offspring from a cross between two organisms. The Punnett square is divided into four boxes to show the possible combinations of alleles from the parents.**Genotype Calculation:**To determine the possible genotypes of the offspring, we fill in the Punnett square with the alleles of the parents. The hybrid parent has the genotype Hh (one dominant allele H and one recessive allele h), and the no-horn parent has the genotype hh (two recessive alleles):| | h | h ||----|---|----||**H**| Hh | Hh ||**h** | hh | hh |From this Punnett square:- There are two boxes with the genotype Hh.- There are two boxes with the genotype hh.**Genotype Results:**- **Hh:** 50% of the offspring will have one horn.- **hh:** 50% of the offspring will have no horns.**Phenotype Calculation:**Phenotype refers to the organism's observable traits, resulting from the genotype.- The Hh genotype will show the dominant trait: one horn.- The hh genotype will show the recessive trait: no horns.**Phenotype Results:**- 50% of the offspring will have one horn.- 50% of the offspring will have no horns.**Conclusion:**From crossing a hybrid purple people eater with a purple people eater with no horns, the offspring will have a 50% chance of having one horn and a 50% chance of having no horns.
