If we cross pure-bred tall (dominant) pea plant with pure-bred dwarf (recessive) pea plant we will get pea plants of F₁ generation. if we now self-cross the pea plants of F₂ generation.
(a) What do the plants F₁ generation look like?
(b) State the ratio of tall plants to dwarf plants F₂ generation.
(c) State the type of plants not found in F₁ generation, but appeared in F₂ generation mentioning the reason for the same.
