500
In experimental field of F2 generation offspring (Ww + Ww), a researcher counted 62 plants with purple (recessive, ww) flowers out of a total of 200 plants, or 31% purple plants. Explain how this is possible
Probability describes what is likely to occur for a large number of trials. Since there are only 200 plants in the experimental field, you cannot expect exactly 1 out of 4 plants, or 25%, to be purple.
