parents are diploid, b) alleles separate to form haploid gametes (indicate
when this happens), and c) gametes from each parent combine at random

Write the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios.
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)

Each is controlled by an independently assorting gene and has dominant and recessive expression as nas indicated in Table 14.1. If a plant that is heterozygous for all three characters is allowed to self-fertilize, what proportion of the offspring would you expect to be each of the following?
