Question

in the f1 (first filial) generation, there were three purple flowered plants and one white flowered plant. true false

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In Mendelian genetics, when two heterozygous parents (e.g., Pp x Pp where P is dominant for purple and p is recessive for white) are crossed, the F2 generation (not F1) shows a phenotypic ratio of 3 purple - flowered : 1 white - flowered. The F1 generation is the first generation of offspring from the parental generation. If the parents are, for example, PP (purple) and pp (white), the F1 generation will all be Pp (purple).

Answer:

B. False
