Mendel’s pea plant experiments involved controlled crosses. Traits like flower color were studied. Cross-pollination of parental plants with specific traits led to predictable ratios in the offspring, revealing principles of inheritance.
In a cross between pea plants having round green seeds and wrinkled yellow seeds, what progeny is expected in F1 and F2 generation? (ii) What would be the impact on the ratio of F2 generation, if F1 progeny plants inherited a single whole gene set from each parent? Give reason for your answer.
