Q5. When Mendel crossed a large number of tall pea plants with short pea plants, all F1 plants were tall. The F2 generation was created by self-pollinating the F1 plants. (a) Complete a genetic cross of F1 to show the genotypes and phenotypes of the parents and offspring. (b) Complete a genetic cross of F2 to show the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring. (c) State the ratio of phenotypes expected in the F2 offspring. (d) Mendel's First Law of inheritance states that, "...the alleles of a given locus segregate into separate gametes." Explain how the genetic diagram above proves this law. (AC 2.1)
