The color of the flower in F1 is 1:1 Purple to white.
Explanation:
- The offspring of the P generation is called the F1 (for filial, or “offspring”) generation.
All of the plants in the F1 generation had purple flowers. None of them had white flowers.
- Mendel wondered what had happened to the white-flower characteristic.
- He assumed some type of inherited factor produces white flowers and some other inherited factor produces purple flowers
So, then the offspring of the F1 generation—called the F2 generation—should all have purple flowers like their parents.
- To test this prediction, Mendel allowed the F1 generation plants to self-pollinate. He was surprised by the results.
- Some of the F2 generation plants had white flowers. He studied hundreds of F2 generation plants, and for every three purple-flowered plants, there was an average of one white-flowered plant
