Question
Activity 8.2 in the chapter asks what experiment could confirm that the F2 generation truly has a 1:2:1 ratio of TT, Tt, and tt. This would most directly require distinguish their genotypes
measuring plant height only
growing another generation from each individual F2 plant (e.g. by self-pollination) to
counting only the tall plants
measuring seed weight
Answer
growing another generation from each individual F2 plant (e.g. by self-pollination) to
Detailed Explanation
To distinguish TT from Tt among tall F2 plants (which look identical), one would need to self-pollinate each and observe whether their offspring are all tall (TT) or show a 3:1 split (Tt).
