Correct answer
A. When the tall and dwarf plant produce gametes, by the process of mitosis, the alleles of the parental pair sep
Step-by-step solution
From the observation that the recessive parental trait is expressed without any blending in the F 2 generation, we can infer that, when the tall and dwarf plant produce gametes, by the process of meiosis, the alleles of the parental pair separate or segregate from each other and only one allele is transmitted to a gamete. This segregation of alleles is a random process and so there is a 50 percent chance of a gamete containing either allele, as has been verified by the results of the crossings. In this way the game
