Second generation: By hybridizing first filial generation plants with each other, Mendel created a second filial or F2 generation. Across all seven traits, Mendel observed a similar behavior. In the F2 descended from an inflated fruit vs constricted pod cross, for example, Mendel observed 1,181 plants, 882 had inflated pods, and 299 had constricted pods. What is the ratio of inflated pods to constricted pods in this F2? What percent of plants have constricted pods in this F2? In this experiment, what was the phenotype of the F1 generation? Which allele is recessive? How many plants in this F2 generation inherited at least one copy of the dominant allele? An amazing finding from this experiment is that although the F1 generation only had individuals with the dominant trait, the F2 generation had individuals with the dominant trait or the recessive trait! How does this result support Corollary 1 of the Law of Segregation? Do these data support the idea that inherited traits are blended in the next generation?
