Question
A cross was made between a plant that has blue flowers and purple seeds to a plant with white flowers and green seeds. The following data were obtained:
F1 generation: all offspring have blue flowers with purple seeds
Two members of the F1 are crossed to get the following F2 generation:
F2 generation:
178 blue flowers, purple seeds
60 blue flowers, green seeds
60 white flowers, purple seeds
2 white flowers, green seeds
300 Total
