's law of segregation, the F1 generation would be heterozygous for both the height and seed shape traits. This means that the tall plant with round seeds would have the genotype TtRr, where T represents the dominant allele for tall height and t represents the recessive allele for dwarf height, and R represents the dominant allele for round seeds and r represents the recessive allele for wrinkled seeds.
When the F1 generation plants are crossed with each other, the possible combinations of alleles during gamete formation can be determined using the law of segregation. Each parent can produce four different types of gametes: TR, Tr, tR, and tr.
When these gametes combine during fertilization, the resulting genotypes for the F2 generation can be determined using a Punnett square:
| TR | Tr | tR | tr
-----------------------------------
TR | TTRR | TTRr | TtRR | TtRr
-----------------------------------
Tr | TTRr | TTRr | TtRr | TtRr
-----------------------------------
tR | TtRR | TtRr | ttRR | ttRr
-----------------------------------
tr | TtRr | TtRr | ttRr | ttRr
From the Punnett square, it can be seen that the F2 generation consists of plants with the following genotypes and phenotypes:
- 9 plants with genotype TTRR, tall with round seeds
- 3 plants with genotype TTRr, tall with round seeds
- 3 plants with genotype TtRR, tall with round seeds
- 1 plant with genotype TtRr, tall with round seeds
- 3 plants with genotype TtRr, tall with round seeds
- 1 plant with genotype TtRr, tall with round seeds
- 1 plant with genotype ttRR, dwarf with round seeds
- 1 plant with genotype ttRr, dwarf with round seeds
- 1 plant with genotype ttRr, dwarf with round seeds
- 1 plant with genotype ttRr, dwarf with round seeds
Therefore, in the F2 generation, there would be a total of 9 tall plants with round seeds, 3 tall plants with wrinkled seeds, 3 dwarf plants with round seeds, and 1 dwarf plant with wrinkled seeds.
