Assume that, in a series of experiments, plants with round seeds were crossed with plants with wrinkled seeds and the following offspring were obtained: 215 round and 185 wrinkled. How do you explain these observations and what would be the expected number of offspring with round seed and with wrinkled seed?   The plants with round seeds are heterozygous for the round seed phenotype and F1 offspring is expected to show 200 round and 200 wrinkled seed. The plants with round seeds are homozygous for the round seed phenotype and F1 offspring is expected to show 300 round and 100 wrinkled seed. The plants with round seeds are heterozygous for the round seed phenotype and F1 offspring is expected to show 100 round and 300 wrinkled seed. The plants with round seeds are homozygous for the round seed phenotype and F1 offspring is expected to show 200 round and 200 wrinkled seed. The plants with round seeds are heterozygous for the round seed phenotype and F1 offspring is expected to show 300 round and 100 wrinkled seed.
