Question

A true breeding pea plant homozygous for axial violet flowers is crossed with another pea plant with terminal white flowers (aavv).
(a) What would be the phenotype and genotype of `F_(1)" and "F_2` generations?
(b) Give the phenotype ratio of `F_2` generations.
(c) List the Mendel’s generalisations that can be derived from the above cross.

Answer 1

(c) Based upon such observation on dihybrid crosses Mendel proposed a second set of generalisation that we call Mendel’s law of Independent Assortment.
The law states that when two pairs of traits are combined in a hybrid, segregation of one pair of characters is Independent of other pair of characters.
