Mendel crossed pea plants that produced round seeds with those that produced wrinkled seeds and self-fertilized the progeny. In the F2, he observed 5474 round seeds and 1850 wrinkled seeds. Using the letters W and w for the seed texture alleles, diagram Mendel's crosses, showing the genotypes of the plants in each generation. Are the results consistent with the Principle of Segregation?
