Question 1 Report

The diagram below is an illustrating of a cross between plants A and B of the same species. Study it to answer the question below;


The process that gave rise to the F1 generation is 

Answer Details

The process that gave rise to the F1 generation in the diagram is cross-fertilization. This is because plant ! and plant B are different plants of the same species, and they were intentionally bred (crossed) by a human or other means to produce offspring with mixed characteristics, which are the F1 generation.

Cross-fertilization involves transferring pollen from one plant to another plant, which is different from self-fertilization where a plant can fertilize itself. Therefore, since the diagram shows two different plants being bred to produce the F1 generation, the process that gave rise to the F1 generation is cross-fertilization.
