A monohybid cross between two plants, one having 22cm long internodes and the other having 12 cm long internodes, produced F_(1) hybrids all off 18 cm long internodes. This is a case of

If T_(1) and T_(2) are the time of oscillations for two springs of constants k_(1) and k_(2) connected to the mass m individually then calculate the time period of oscillations when both the spring are connected to the same mass and subjected to oscillations.

In one of his experiments with pea plants Mendel observed that when a pure tall pea plant is crossed with a pure dwarf pea plant, in the first generation, F_(1) only tall plants appeared. (i) What happens to the traits of the dwarf plants in this case? (ii) When the F_(1) generation plants were self-fertilised, he observed that in the plants of second generation, F_(2) both tall plants and dwarf plants were present. Why it happened? Explain briefly.
