One of the seven characteristics that Mendel evaluated was pod color. Suppose Mendel crosses true-breeding plants with green pods with true breeding plants that have yellow pods. He harvests seeds from this cross and plants these seeds at the beginning of the next gardening season. All of these plants produce green pods. The F1 plants are allowed to self-hybridize and these seeds are planted to produce an F2 generation. A.What does true breeding tell you about genotype? B.In words, state the genotype of all individuals in the F1 generation. C.Using appropriate symbols, state the genotypes of the parents and the F1 generation.
