EXPLAIN how the two homologs in a homologous pair of chromosomes are the same and how they are different.
DESCRIBE Mendel’s cross in which he used purebred purple and white flowered pea plants as the P1 generation.
DESCRIBE how the white form of flower color was lost in the F1 generation and how it was seen again in the F2 generation.
