A pea plant from a pure-breeding strain that is tall, has green pods, and has purple flowers that are terminal is crossed to a plant from a pure-breeding strain that is dwarf, has yellow pods, and has white flowers that are axial. The F1 plants are all tall and have purple axial flowers as well as green pods. What phenotypes do you expect to see in the F2? What phenotypes and ratios would you predict in the progeny from crossing an F1 plant to the dwarf parent?

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
