Suppose we cross a trihybrid with purple flowers, and yellow round seeds (heterozygous for all three) with a plant with purple flowers and green, wrinkled seeds (heterozygous for flower color but homozygouse recessive for the other two characters).
Using Mendelian genetics, where the cross is PpYyRr x Ppyyrr, what fraction of offspring from this cross would be predicted to exhibit the recessive phenotypes for at least two of the three characters?

Help? It is asking to use the law of probability but I don't know how to approach this. I did it one way and got the wrong answer.
