A variety of opium poppy with lacerate leaves was crossed with a variety that has normal leaves. All the F1 plants had lacerate leaves. Two F1 plants were then interbred to produce the F2. Of the F2 plants, 249 had lacerate leaves and 16 had normal leaves. What are the genotypes of the plants in the P (parental), F1, and F2 generations? How are lacerate leaves determined in the opium poppy? Note: You can use the symbols A and B to represent the two genes involved. (How do we know there are two?)

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.
