Summary Introduction

To determine:

The genotype of parent, F₁, and F₂ generation.

Introduction:

Opium poppy plant contains two types of leaves; lacerate and normal leaves. When a cross is made between two varieties of opium plant, all the F₁ plants show the lacerate type of leaves. Two plants from F₁ generation interbred together, which results in F₂ generation with both types of leaves; lacerate and normal leaves.

Summary Introduction

To describe:

The determination of lacerate leaves in opium poppy.

Introduction:

Opium poppy plants have lacerate and normal leaf variety. The cross between two varieties of opium plants result lacerates type of leaves in the F₁ generation. Two plants from $F_1$ generation interbred together, which results in F₂ generation with both types of leaves; lacerate and normal leaves.
