Question

When Mendel performed di-hybrid crosses (i.e. pea color and pea shape) what did he find in the F2 generation?

   

He found that traits were linked together, such that if an individual was homozygous recessive for 1 trait it would also be homozygous recessive for the other trait

   

He found a set of intermediate phenotypes in the F1 and F2 generations for each trait

   

He found one trait could return in 25% of the offspring but the other trait did not

   

He found that each trait was inherited separately from the other trait, indicating that traits are randomly assorted
