Question

A mendelian experiment consisted of breeding pea plants bearing violet flower with pea plant bearing with white flower .what will be the result in F1 pragancy

Answer 1

Violet. Because it is a dominating character

Answer 2

Answer: F1 progeny will consist of pea plants with voilet flowers ( with genotype Vv)

According to Mendelian genetics, violet flower is a dominant trait over white flower, which is a recessive characteristic. Dominant trait masks the expression of recessive trait.

Let us consider 'V' allele codes for violet flower and 'v' codes for white flower.

If parental plants that are true breeding for violet (VV) and white (vv) are crossed with each other, they will result in violet trait ( with genotype Vv) in the F1 generation. This is because violet is a dominant trait over white flower.
