Which of the following statements about the experiment diagrammed in Figure Q19-38 is true?



(a) If you crossed all the round-seeded pea plants from the F2 generation with true-breeding wrinkle-seeded pea plants, you would get more round-seeded pea plants in the next generation than if you crossed all the round-seeded pea plants from the F1 generation with true-breeding wrinkle-seeded pea plants.
(b) The reason you do not see wrinkle-seeded pea plants in the F1 generation is because the round-seeded pea plants used to create the F1 generation were not true-breeding strains.
(c) The gene for round-seeded pea plants is on a different chromosome from the gene for wrinkle-seeded pea plants, which is why you get 25% wrinkle-seeded pea plants in the F2 generation.
(d) If you crossed the round-seeded pea plants from the F2 generation with the wrinkle-seeded pea plants from the F2 generation, you should get 100% round-seeded pea plants.
