If the F1 generation produced by a cross between axial and terminal flower-bearing plants produces only axial flowers, the F2 progeny produced by the self-crossing of F1 will also produce only axial flowers.

If the F1 generation produced by a cross between axial and terminal flower-bearing plants produces only axial flowers, the F2 progeny produced by the self-crossing of F1 will also produce only axial flowers. Correct Answer False

The F1 progeny has only axial flowers, which imply that axial trait is dominant over the terminal trait. However, the F1 progeny are heterozygous. Upon self-crossing, 25% of the F2 progeny will be homozygous for the recessive trait, resulting in the formation of 3:1 ratio of axial flower-bearing to terminal flower-bearing plants.

In a Mendelian test, tall pea plants with violet flowers and short flowers with white flowers were used for breeding. All the flowers of their progeny were violet in color but about half of the plants were small in stature. This shows that the genetic composition of tall plants can be represented as:
In a genetic cross between the genotypes WWXX and wwxx, the following phenotypic distributions were observed among the F2 progeny: WX, 562; wx, 158; Wx, 38; and wX, 42. Likewise, a cross between XXYY and xxyy yielded the following results: XY, 675; xy, 175; Xy, 72; and xY, 78. Similarly, a cross between WWYY and wwyy yielded: WY, 292; wy, 88; Wy, 12; and wY, 8. In all the genotypes, capital letters denote the dominant allele. Assume that the F1 progeny were self-fertilized in all three crosses. Also, double cross-over does not occur in this species. Which of the following is correct?
In a Mendelian cross tall pea plants bearing violet flowers and short pea plants bearing white flowers were used. The progeny all bore violet flowers, but almost half of them were short, then what could be the genetic makeup of the tall parent
There are flowers in a basket which are to be distributed to five persons standing in a row. The second person received half of the number of flowers given to the first person, the third person received half of the number of flowers received to the second person; the fourth person received half of the number of flowers received to the third person and the fifth person received half of the number of flowers received to the fourth person. If the fifth person received only one flower and there is no flower remaining in the basket, how many flowers were their in the basket?

A man has 'n' magical eggs whose average weight is 'k' gm. Each of the 'n' eggs produces 'n' eggs next day such that the average weight of 'n' eggs produced is same as that of the parental egg for each 'n' groups individually i.e. each egg produces 'n' eggs of next generation and average weight of all the 'n' eggs of next generation is same as the weight of the mother egg. This process is continued without any change in pattern. What is the total weight of all the eggs of rth generation, where the initial number of eggs with man are considered as the eggs of first generation.
