In Mendel's F2 generation, the ratio of violet to white flowers was about:
AOne to one
BTwo to one
CThree to one
DNine to one
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Three to one
1. Self-crossing the F1 plants brought the hidden form back.
2. In the F2 generation, approximately three quarters of the plants had violet flowers.
3. The remaining one quarter had white flowers.
4. Three quarters against one quarter is a three to one ratio.
