The F1 generation from crossing a pure line round-seeded pea plant with a wrinkled-seeded pea plant will be round-seeded. This can be explained by the Law of Dominance, where round seeds are dominant over wrinkled seeds.

on crossing
F1 generation = Rr
ie, round because of the law of dominace
law of dominance states that the dominant allel (here round R) dominates over the resseccive allel (here wrinkled r)

Explanation:
Crossing the Pure Line Round-Seeded Pea Plant with Wrinkled-Seeded Pea Plant:
- When the pure line round-seeded pea plant was crossed with a wrinkled-seeded pea plant, the resulting F1 generation showed round seeds.
Explanation of the F1 Generation:
- The F1 generation exhibiting round seeds can be explained by the Law of Dominance. According to this law proposed by Gregor Mendel, one allele (in this case, the allele for round seeds) is dominant over another allele (the allele for wrinkled seeds) in a heterozygous individual.
- In this case, the round-seeded trait is dominant while the wrinkled-seeded trait is recessive. This means that even though the F1 plants have one allele for round seeds and one allele for wrinkled seeds, the dominant round allele masks the expression of the recessive wrinkled allele, resulting in round seeds being observed.
Conclusion:
- Therefore, in the given scenario, the F1 generation exhibiting round seeds can be attributed to the Law of Dominance, which explains the interaction between alleles in determining the phenotype of an organism.
