The f1 generation may have genes for short plants just that the genes for long plants are dominant over the genes for short plants(recessive) so when cross pollination happen and that two f1 long plants which are homozygous cross pollinate, the recessive genes have a chance of being paired up in new offspring(F2 offspring) thus the possiblity of short plants in f2 generation

For example, the cross between two pure plants (homozygous), being a dominant characteristic over another, in case high on short.

High = AA
Short = aa

F1 = AA x aa = 100% Aa = high = heterozygous

F2 = Aa x Aa
 
      A    a
A  AA  Aa
a  Aa  aa

Therefore, of this crossing, we have
75% High plants (AA e Aa)
25% short plants (aa)

This is possible because the heterozygote plant had the short plant allele.

Llana [10]

Answer:

46 chromosomes

Explanation:

Humans are diploid organisms i.e. they contain two sets of chromosomes (each set from each parent). Each set is 23 chromosomes, hence, two sets will be 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes. This means that each somatic/body cell will contain 46 individual chromosomes.

According to this question, DNA was extracted from a cheek cell. If one could magnify the extracted material, there would be 46 individual chromosomes from each of these cheek cells, considering that cheek cell is a somatic cell.
