A true-breeding tall, purple-flowered pea plant was crossed to a true-breeding short, white-flowered pea plant. The F1 generation consisted of all tall, purple-flowered plants. Using this information, answer the following in the text box below: Are there one or two characters being studied in this cross (list the character(s) and the traits associated, 1pt)? Assign letters for the alleles carried by the parental generation plants (be sure to indicate dominant and recessive and the phenotype associated with each letter, 1pt). Using the letters you assigned, give the genotypes of the parents and of the F1 generation. Then, give the gametes that will be formed from the F1 generation (1 pt). Explain: how are Mendel’s two laws demonstrated by this cross (2pts)?
