A Mendelian experiment consisted of breeding pea plants bearing violet flowers with pea plants with white flowers. What will be the results in F1 progeny?
According to the Mendelian experiment, the violet colour of the flowers is the dominant trait and the white colour of the flowers is recessive.
When pea plants bearing violet flowers breed with pea plants with white flowers, the resulting flowers of the F1 progeny will be heterozygous dominant in nature. Therefore, all flowers will be of violet flower.

- Mendel first crossed pure-bred pea plants having round-yellow seeds with pure-bred pea plants having wrinkled-green seeds and found that only round-yellow seeds were produced in the F1 generation. When F1 generation pea plants having round-yellow seeds were cross-bred by self pollination, then peas having round-yellow seeds, round green seeds, wrinkled-yellow seeds and wrinkled-green seeds were produced. Mendel collected a total of 2160 seeds.(a) What will be the number of (i) round green seeds (ii) wrinkled green seeds (iii) round yellow seeds, and (iv) wrinkled-yellow seeds? (b) Which 'ratio' as established by Mendel have you made use of in answering the part (a) above?
