• A)In each of the crosses, he would have observed two phenotypes in the F₁ generation.
• B)Only a single phenotype would have been observed in the F₁ generation because only one allele can be dominant.
• C)No evidence would exist for the law of segregation.
• D)No true-breeding plants would have been produced in the F₂.
• E)None of the answer options is correct.
