A. The independent assortment of the alleles controls seed color and wrinkling of seeds.
C. The F2 generation plants are heterozygous for both traits; earlier generations are homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive for both traits.
In the animation, one P generation parent produces round, yellow seeds, and the other parent produces wrinkled, green seeds. In the F1 generation, all individuals produce round, yellow seeds. What mechanism causes approximately 60 percent of the F2 generation plants to produce seeds that are different from both the P generation and F1 generation plants?

A. The independent assortment of the alleles controls seed color and wrinkling of seeds.
B. Mutations occur in every generation and cause F2 generations to look different from earlier generations.
C. The F2 generation plants are heterozygous for both traits; earlier generations are homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive for both traits.
D. The alleles that control seed color and wrinkling of seeds are closely linked and remain together.
