Check point 1 (b)

1. What is independent assortment? 2. An F1 plant that is homozygous recessive for shortness is crossed with a heterozygous plant. Calculate the probability of a seed showing a tall phenotype. 3. You are gardening and come across a plant with beautiful purple owers.You know the plant is selfpollinating and so you collect seeds and plant them. Of the 106 plants that grow, 31 have white owers.
