Question 31

(Multiple Choice)

Figure 19-24 diagrams one of Mendel's experiments using the round and wrinkled seed traits. Figure 19-24 diagrams one of Mendel's experiments using the round and wrinkled seed traits.   Figure 19-24 Which of the following statements about the experiment diagrammed in Figure 19-28 is TRUE? A)If you crossed all the round-seeded pea plants from the F2generation with true-breeding wrinkle-seeded pea plants, you would get more round-seeded pea plants in the next generation than if you crossed all the round-seeded pea plants from the F1generation with true-breeding wrinkle-seeded pea plants. B)The reason you do not see wrinkle-seeded pea plants in the F1generation is because the round-seeded pea plants used to create the F1generation were not true-breeding strains. C)The gene for round-seeded pea plants is on a different chromosome from the gene for wrinkle-seeded pea plants, which is why you get 25% wrinkle-seeded pea plants in the F2generation. D)If you crossed the round-seeded pea plants from the F2generation with the wrinkle-seeded pea plants from the F2generation, you should get 100% round-seeded pea plants. Figure 19-24
