Question

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?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Introduction

Mendel's Law of Segregation states that a diploid organism passes a randomly selected allele for a trait to its offspring, such that the offspring receives one allele from each parent.
