all with purple flowers
Self-pollination and fertilisation
2nd offspring generation (F2)
705 purple
224 white
(a) (i)
Calculate the ratio of purple-flowered plants to white-flowered plants in the F,
generation.
Ratio of purple : white =
(ii)
There was a total of 929 plants in the F, generation.
Mendel thought that the production of a large number of offspring plants
