Answer 2

When heterozygous tall plants are self-pollinated, then tall and dwarf plants are obtained. This explains the law of segregation.

• Self-pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther of a flower to the stigma of the same flower or sometimes to that of a genetically identical flower.
• Heterozygous tall plants will form two gametes, T and t.
• When heterozygous tall plants (Tt) are self-pollinated, that is, Tt × Tt.
• They will produce offspring in their F1 generation, labeled as, TT (homozygous tall), Tt (heterozygous tall), and tt (homozygous dwarf).
• The F1 generation will follow the ratio 3: 1, that three-fourth of the offspring will be tall and one-fourth will be dwarf.
• This explains the law of segregation, which states the two members of a pair of alleles separate during gamete formation.
