In a cross between violet flowered plants and white floweredplants, state the characteristics of the plants obtained in theF1 progeny

The characteristics of the plants obtained in the F1 progeny in a cross between violet flowered plants and white flowered plants would depend on the genetic dominance of the traits.

Assuming that the violet flower color is dominant and the white flower color is recessive, all plants in the F1 generation would have violet flowers. This is because the dominant trait (violet color) would mask the expression of the recessive trait (white color).

However, it's important to note that while all F1 plants would appear violet, they would be heterozygous for the flower color gene, carrying one allele for violet color and one allele for white color. This means that if these F1 plants were allowed to self-fertilize, the resulting F2 generation would include a mix of violet and white flowered plants, in a typical 3:1 ratio (3 violet : 1 white), according to Mendel's laws of inheritance.

This is a simplified explanation and actual results can vary based on factors like incomplete dominance, co-dominance, multiple alleles, and so on.
