If a true-breeding plant with round seeds (RR) is crossed with a true-breeding plant with wrinkled seeds (rr), the F1 generation will consist of:
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: All of the F1 seeds will be round
According to the Law of Dominance, the F1 generation of a cross between two different true-breeding parents will express only the dominant trait. In this case, 'Round' is dominant over 'Wrinkled'.
