The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of which flower color will appear in the F1 generation when crossing a violet flowered homozygous dominant plant with a white flowered homozygous recessive plant, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Genotypes of the Parents:** - The violet flowered plant is homozygous dominant, which means its genotype is represented as **VV** (where V = violet). - The white flowered plant is homozygous recessive, represented as **vv** (where v = white). 2. **Determine the Gametes:** - The homozygous dominant plant (VV) can only produce one type of gamete, which is **V**. - The homozygous recessive plant (vv) can only produce one type of gamete, which is **v**. 3. **Perform the Cross:** - When we cross these two plants, we combine their gametes: - Parent 1 (VV) produces gamete V. - Parent 2 (vv) produces gamete v. - The possible combinations in the F1 generation will be: - V from the violet flowered plant and v from the white flowered plant. - This results in the genotype **Vv** for all offspring. 4. **Determine the Phenotype of the F1 Generation:** - Since violet (V) is the dominant trait and white (v) is the recessive trait, the presence of the dominant allele (V) in the heterozygous genotype (Vv) will mask the expression of the recessive allele (v). - Therefore, all plants in the F1 generation will exhibit the violet flower color. 5. **Conclusion:** - The color that will appear in the F1 generation is **violet**. ### Final Answer: The color that will appear in the F1 generation is **violet**. ---
