Mendel found that if parents both heterozygous for two traits are crossed, the resulting phenotypic ratio will be 9: 3: 3: 9. true false

False. The correct ratio is 9:3:3:1

There are two traits being crossed here: color and texture. When both parents as heterozygous for two traits are crossed, as a result four different types of plants are produced phenotypically in the ratio 9:3:3:1.

For example, two heterozygous pea plants with round and yellow seeds (RrYy x RrYy) are crossed then round yellow (9), round green (3), wrinkled yellow (3) and wrinkled green (1) seeds are produced. This is the result of Mendel’s Dihybrid cross.

the law of original horizontality explains:   why rocks appear in layers. correct answer: b the law suggests that all rock layers are originally laid down (deposited) horizontally and can later be deformed.   the principle is used by geologists to make assumptions about the relative ages of sedimentary rocks.
