The variegated plant Arabidopsis thaliana has green-and-yellow leaves ("variegation phenotype"). To investigate the mechanism of plant variegation, researchers introduced a DNA mutation that suppresses variegation. If the mutation is recessive, three-quarters of plants in the second generation (F2) of a variegated x mutant crossing should be variegated, and the rest be just green. The researchers found 84 green plants and 216 variegated plants in F2 of such a genetic experiment.
