Question 19

A grower crossed tomato plants that produced purple stems with tomato plants that produced green stems.

All of the offspring in the first generation had purple stems.

The grower then bred these first-generation offspring with each other.

In the second generation, some of the tomato plants had purple stems and others had green stems.

Explain how this experiment shows that some inherited factors (alleles) are not expressed in an organism.
