Mendel crossed a homozygous pea plant having yellow and round seeds with another pea plant bearing green and wrinkled seeds. He found that in some F2 generations new combination of parental characters were observed.
How will you explain the apperanace of a new combination of parental characters in F2-offsprings? Support your answer with the help of Punnett square.
So we can explain the appearance of a new combination of parental characters in F2 by the phenotype and the phenotypic ratio.
so the phenotype are : 9 are round and yellow, 3 are round and green ,3 are wrinkled and yellow , and only 1 is wrinkled and green.
Unlike the parental characters that is just round and yellow, the offsprings are at a ratio of 9:3:3:1 .
