Question : Mendel first crossedpure-bred pea plants having round-yellow seeds with pure-bred pea plants having wrinkled-green seeds and found that onlyround-yellow seeds were cross-bred by self pollination, then peas having round-yellow seeds, round green seeds, wrinkled-yellow seeds and wrinkled-green seeds were produced. Mendel collected a total of 2160 seeds. (a) What will be the number of (i) round green seeds(ii) wrinkled green seeds(iii) round yellow seeds, and (iv) wrinkled-yellow seeds ? (b) Which 'ratio' as established by Mendel have you made use of in answering the part (a) above ?
