In the Pea plants studied by Mendel, green pod colour is dominant over yellow pod colour. You have grown the same species in your garden and the plant is producing only green pods. You were guaranteed by the garden store that it was homozygous (pure-breeding) but you are not completely sure. Show how you can find out.

You cross pure breeding plants with short stamens and white flowers to plants (also purebreeding) with long stamens and blue flowers. All the F1 have white flowers and long stamens. You cross the F1 to another strain of plants, pure breeding for blue flowers and short stamens. The F2 progeny are: 12 White and Long, 85 White and short, 8 Blue and short, 95 blue and long. What is the distance between the two genes? 10 mu 90 mu 1 mu 20 mu They are not linked

In a plant, stems can appear fuzzy or smooth. The allele for fuzzy (F) is dominant.  These plants can also have blue (B-) or white flowers.  White is the recessive trait.  A cross was made between plants heterozygous for both traits.  You observed 290 blue fuzzy, 80 blue smooth, 70 white fuzzy, and 40 white smooth plants.  Are your observations consistent with your expectations?

Outline the basic hybridization research done by Mendel when crossing a true breading violet flowered plant with a true breeding white flowered plant? In your answer you should indicate the parental generation, the F1, and the F2 results.
