Q1.In 1866, Gregor Mendel published the results of his investigations into
inheritance in garden pea plants.
The diagram below shows the results Mendel obtained in one investigation
with purple-flowered and white-flowered pea plants.
(a) (i)
Calculate the ratio of purple-flowered plants to white-flowered
plants in the F2 generation.
Ratio of purple : white
(ii) There was a total of 929 plants in the F2 generation.
Mendel thought that the production of a large number of offspring
plants improved the investigation. Explain why.
(b) (i) Some of the plants in the diagram are homozygous for flower colour
and some are heterozygous.
Complete the table to show whether each of the plants is
homozygous or heterozygous. For each plant, tick () one box.
