Next Generation Red Pink White A given plant species has red, pink, or white flowers according to the genotypes RR, RW, and WW, respectively. If each type of these genotypes is crossed with a pink-flowering plant (genotype RW), then the transition matrix is as shown to the right. Red 0.5 0.5 This Pink 0.25 0.5 0.25 Generation White 0 0.5 0.5 Assuming that the plants of each generation are crossed only with pink plants to produce the next generation, show that regardless of the makeup of the first generation, the genotype composition will eventually stabilize at 25% red, 50% pink, and 25% white.
