As a scientist studying the latest pea plant technology, you decide that in your spare time you'd like to replicate some of Mendel's classic crosses (say that 5 times fast). You cross two plants, one with homozygous for tall stature and white flowers, and one that is homozygous for short stature and purple flowers, to create the F1 generation. In this scenario, tall plants and purple flowers are dominant traits. You then cross two plants from the F1 generation to make the F2 generation. What is the chance of a plant in the F2 generation being heterozygous for the height gene, and homozygous recessive for flower color? Give your answer as a percentage, and round to two decimal places (i.e. 4.56% = 4.56).

What percentage of tall plants with white flowers would you expect in the F1 generation? Give your answer as a percentage, and round to two decimal places (i.e. 4.56% = 4.56)
