Question

Prove the following flower color was produced in the F1 and F2 generation

Answer 1

Answer:

The F1 generation results from cross-pollination of two parent (P) plants, and contained all purple flowers. The F2 generation results from self-pollination of F1 plants, and contained 75% purple flowers and 25% white flowers. This type of experiment is known as a monohybrid cross.

Answer 2

The bloom color was developed in the F1 and F2 generations, according to the evidence.

Explanation:

• The descendants of the P generation make up the F1 (filial, or "offspring") generation. The plants of the F1 generation all developed purple blooms, as seen in the diagram. There were no white blossoms to be found. Mendel couldn't figure out where the white-flower characteristic had gone. He assumed that an inherited factor causes white flowers, while an inherited factor causes purple blossoms.
• Is it feasible that in the F1 generation, the white-flower component vanished? If this is the case, the offspring of the F1 generation, known as the F2, should all have purple flowers like their parents.
