Answer:

The F2 generation can be explained because the alleles for flower colour and pollen shape are linked.

Explanation:

<em>When two alleles are linked on the same chromosome, there is a high tendency for the alleles to be inherited together. Consequently, the frequency of the alleles recombining in subsequent generations is low.</em>

This is what Bateson and Punnet observed. There exist a linkage between P and L alleles and also p and l alleles, thereby increasing their frequencies  of occurring together and decreasing the frequency of their recombination.

Thus, the F2 generation observed by Bateson and Punnet is due to linkage of alleles.

Prophase is the phase of mitosis in which chromatin condenses into chromosomes, the nuclear  membrane is started to break down and the forming of spindle has started . Prophase is the first stage of mitosis which occurs after G2 portion of interphase. After prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase occurs that completes the cell division process and the one parent cell divides into two daughter cells.
