Question : How do Mendel's experiments show that traits are inherited independentlyy? |
|
Answer» Solution :When a PEA plant with round green seeds was crossed with a pea plant with WRINKLED yellow seeds, the F1 progeny were all plants with round, yellow seeds. It means round and yellow seeds are dominant traits while wrinkled green seeds are recessive traits. When the F1 plants were self-pollinated and F2 progeny GENERATED, there were four types of plants: (i) Round yellow seeds (ii) Round green seeds (III) Wrinkled yellow seeds (IV) Wrinkled green seeds  Result: Round Yellow = 9 Round Green =3 Wrinkled Yellow = 3 Wrinkled Green = 1 |
