A biologist pollinates a true-breeding yellow flower with pollen from a true-breeding red flower of the same species. All of the F1 offspring are yellow. What question can be answered with the F2 cross?

See the answer below

Explanation:

The question that can be answered with the F2 cross would be if the yellow flower color is dominant over the red flower color in the species. In other words, whether the inheritance of flower color follows a simple Mendelian inheritance or otherwise can be answered.

Assuming that the inheritance of the flower color follows the Mendelian pattern, the red flower trait would re-emerge among the F2 offspring and the ratio of yellow to red flower offspring would approximately be equal to 3:1. Otherwise, a more complex pattern of inheritance would be involved.
