For the cross of round green and wrinkled yellow seeds, which of the following is incorrect with regards to the F2 generation?

For the cross of round green and wrinkled yellow seeds, which of the following is incorrect with regards to the F2 generation? Correct Answer Yellow seeds were three times more abundant than green seeds

The roundness and greenness of the seeds are encoded by different genes. According to the law of independent assortment, these two should segregate independently of each other. Thus in the F2 generation, green seeds: yellow seeds = 3:1, round seeds: wrinkled seeds = 3:1. From this, we can have, green seeds: wrinkled seeds = 3:1, green seeds: round seeds = 1:1, yellow seeds: round seeds = 1:3, yellow seeds: wrinkled seeds = 1:1.
