2 Single Gene Inheritance WORKING WITH THE FIGURES (The first 14 questions require inspection of text figures.) 1.

Would the same F2 results be produced by cross-pollinating two different F1 plants? Answer: No‚ the results would be different. While self pollination produces 3 : 1 ratio of yellow versus gene phenotype‚ cross pollination would result in 1 : 1 ratio‚ in
