gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

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

Explanation:

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.
