Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Mendel crossed pure breeding tall plants having round seed with pure breeding shorty plants having wrinkled weeds. The plants of `F_(1)` generation were all tall with round seeds indicating that the traits of tallness and round seeds were dominat. Self breeding of `F_(1)` yielded seeded , 3 shord round seeded and one short wrinkled seeded. Tall wrinkled seeded and shord round seeded plants are new combinations which can develop only when the traits are inherited indeperndently.
