THE GENOTYPE OF PURPLE FLOWERED PLANTS IS DENOTED AS 'W W' AND THAT OF WHITE FLOWERED PEA PLANTS AS 'w w' . WHEN THESE TWO ARE CROSED
a)WHAT COLOUR OF FLOWER WOULD YOU EXPECT IN THEIR F 1 PROGENCY?
b)WHAT EXPERIMENT WOULD YOU PERFORM TO CONFIRM THAT THE F2 GENERATION HAVE THE GENOTYPIC RATIO 1:2:1
c)WHAT IS THE TERM FOR THIS TYPE OF CROSS
d)WHAT DID MENDEL PROVE THROUGH THIS TYPE OF CROSSES?

PLS ANSWER THIS QUESTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Hi Arya,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

The cross between purple flowered pea plant denoted by WW and that of white flowered pea plant denoted by ww can be depicted as under:
      
a) The F1 generation will be Gg, so they will be all purple coloured.
b) The F1 generation have to be self pollinated or crossed to confirm that F2 plants obtained have 1:2:1 genotypic ratio
c) This type of cross is known as mono hybrid cross. 
d) The Mendel proved law of dominance through this cross.

a) In the F1 progeny all the plants would have Ww genotype, indicating purple colour flowers.
b) The F1 generation consisting of Ww genotypes have to be self pollinated to form   :     WW   :   Ww   :   Ww   :   ww
                                                                                                                     Ratio          :      1       :              2          :      1
c)This type of cross is known as monohybrid cross.
d) From this experiment Mendel concluded that, F1 tall plants (here purple flowered plants) were not true breeding. They were carrying both tall and short (purple and white colour flowers).They appeared tall (purple ) because, tall(purple) trait was dominant over short(white) trait.
            Hope this helps! :)
