In triffid plants, the color trait and the spikiness trait are controled by two loci that assort independently. A true-breeding smooth green strain of triffids is crossed to a true-breeding spiky orange strain of triffids.  All of the F1 are spiky green.  The geneticist then performs two additional crosses: 1. she allows the F1 to self-fertilize 2. she crosses a plant from the F1 to a smooth orange strain. Choose all statements that are TRUE: Group of answer choices orange is dominant spiky is dominant all the progeny resulting from cross 1 (the selfing) will be smooth all the plants resulting from cross 2 will be orange green is dominant all the progeny resulting from cross 1 (the selfing) will be spiky smooth is dominant there will be mixture of smooth and spiky plants in the progeny resulting from cross 1 (the selfing) All the plants resulting from cross 2 will be green there will be a mixture of green and orange plants in the progeny resulting from cross 2

Angiosperm Reproduction

The process of sexual reproduction in flowering plants is known as angiosperm reproduction. In flowering plants, reproduction begins with pollination, or the transfer of male gametes (pollen) from the male reproductive organ (anther) to the female reproductive organ (pistil), and ends with fertilization of the female gametes (egg), which produces a zygote, which then grows to become a mature plant.
