Two plants are crossed, resulting in offspring with a 3: 1 ratio for a particular trait. what does this suggest?

This suggests that the trait observed is a single allele dominate trait and that both parents were heterogeneous in that they had a copy of both the dominate and the recessive allele. For the offspring, the 1/4 of the population that doesn't show the trait, all of them have the recessive allele. Of the 3/4ths that show the trait, 2/3rds of them will also be heterogeneous like their parents, and 1/3rd will be homogeneous in the dominant allele.

The scientific method is a series of steps followed by scientific investigators to answer specific questions about the natural world. it involves making observations, formulating a hypothesis, and conducting scientific experiments.the steps of the scientific method are •observation-the first step of the scientific method involves making an observation about something that interests you•question-once you've made your observation, you must formulate a question about what you have observed. •hypothesis-once you've made your observation, you must formulate a question about what you have observed. •experiment-once you've developed a hypothesis, you must design and conduct an experiment that will test it.•results-the results are where you report what happened in the experiment. •conclusion-the final step of the scientific method is developing a conclusion.i hope that this you : )
