Pure-bred pea plants A are crossed with pure-bred pea plants B. It is found that the plants which look like A do not appear in F1 generation but re-emerge in F2 generation. Which of the plants A and B are : (i) tall, and (ii) dwarf? Give reason for your answer.

(i) tall- B plant


(ii) dwarf- A plant.


This is because only tall plants appear in the F1 generation and dwarf plants appear in the F2 generation along with tall plants.
