19. Which of the following was not observed in F2 progeny of true-breeding tall and dwarf plants?
20. What does F in “F1 progeny” stand for?
21. What is the generation of plants produced by the crossing of true-breeding plants called?
22. I = Inflated, i = constricted. Given that the phenotype of F1 progeny is inflated pods and that the parents are true-breeding, which of the following is not a possible genotype of parents?
