Question
In a cross between violet flowered plants and white floweredplants, state the characteristics of the plants obtained in theF1 progeny
Solution
The characteristics of the plants obtained in the F1 progeny in a cross between violet flowered plants and white flowered plants would depend on the genetic dominance of the traits.
Assuming that the violet flower color is dominant and the white flower color is recessive, all plants in the F1 generation would have violet flowers. This is because the dominant trait (violet color) would mask the expression of the recessive trait (white color).
However, it's important to note that while all F1 plants would appear violet, they would be heterozygous for the flower color gene, carrying one allele for violet color and one allele for white color. This means that if these F1 plants were allowed to self-fertilize, the resulting F2 generation would include a mix of violet and white flowered plants, in a typical 3:1 ratio (3 violet : 1 white), according to Mendel's laws of inheritance.
This is a simplified explanation and actual results can vary based on factors like incomplete dominance, co-dominance, multiple alleles, and so on.

William Bateson and Reginald Punnett used the sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus) in geneticsstudies in the early 20 th century. Pure-breeding plants that produced purple flowers and long pollengrains were crossed with pure-breeding plants that produced red flowers and round pollen grains.The resulting offspring all produced purple flowers and long pollen grains. Two of the F 1 generationplants were crossed. The table shows the ratio of phenotypes in the F2 generation.Flower colour Pollen grain shape Number of plantspurple long 4831purple round 390red long 393red round 1138What is an explanation for these experimental results?A. Purple flowers and long pollen grains are dominant and the alleles have assortedindependently.B. The genes for flower colour and pollen shape are linked and all plants producinglong pollen grains are recombinants.C. The genes for flower colour and pollen shape are linked and all plants producingred flowers are recombinants.D. Plants producing purple flowers and round pollen grains arose through crossing over.
