A true-breeding white nettle is crossed with a true breeding pink nettle. What will be the ratio of the offspring?
(A) 100% White
(B) 3 White: 1 Pink
(C) 1 White: 1 Pink
(D) 1 White: 3 Pink

A nettle has been discovered, native to a nation, that produces tiny flowers that come in two colors: white and pink. The petals of the flowers come in two varieties: ruffled or slotted. After years of studying them, it has been widely acknowledged that both traits follow classic Mendelian inheritance patterns of dominance. The table below shows floral phenotypes in a small garden in an isolated greenhouse, where the dominant phenotypes are the most plentiful and researchers assume the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
