(ii) Write the possible combination of gametes that are obtained when two F1 hybrid plants are crossed.
(iii) Mention the phenotypic ratio of the F2 generation.
(iv) State Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment.
(v) Name two X-linked disorders found in humans.

(i) Phenotype - All plants will be Tall and will bear red flowers.
Genotype - TtRr
(ii) TR, Tr, tR, tr
(iii) 9:3:3:1
(iv) Law of Independent Assortment, states that when there are two pairs of contrasting characters, the distribution of the members of one pair into the gametes is independent of the distribution of the other pair.
(v) Colour-blindness and Haemophilia
