Concept explainers
To determine: The result obtained by cross-pollinating two different F1 plants.
Introduction: GregorMendel is known as the father of genetic because he proposed three laws of inheritance, and based on these laws,he developed pure lines and counted the results and kept the statistical notes. Mendel took seven characteristics of the pea plant and performed various type of crosses, using pea as a model
Explanation of Solution
When Mendel self crossed the yellow seeded pea plant, he observed that the yellow seeds and green seeds are produced in the ratio of 3:1, whereas when he crossed the yellow seeded plant with green seeded plant, the plant produces yellow and green seeds in the ratio of 1:1. When the plants are cross-pollinated, the F2 results will not be the same because F1 yellow is heterozygous, while green is homozygous genotypes.
