1. Based on the results of the genetic crosses , why do you think the red and
white flower alleles can “interact with one another? Explain both the Fl and
F2 generations.
Answers
Answer:
-because the alleles of the two different colors of genes can be segregated to interact with one another
-when purebred red plants and purebred white plants are crossed it will be the result of F¹ Generation.
-when the pink offspring are crossed to create a third generation (the F² Generation),it will be 25% of the offspring both red and white , and 50% are pink
During the meiosis phase crossing over takes place, it is the interchange of genetic material that occurs in the germ line. The law of segregation states that the two alleles of a single trait will separate randomly, because the alleles of the two different colors of genes can be isolated to interact with each other.
F1 generation is the first filial generation of the offspring from the parents. and F2 generation is the second filial generation of the offspring, generated through inbreeding of F1 individuals.
so the result of crossing over of red plants and white plants will be followed by F¹ Generation. and the pink offspring are crossed to create in the F² Generation.The ratio will be 3:1.
