Assuming that true breeding lines are used, which cross would produce an f2 generation that confirms the mode of inheritance for both traits? a)red, short male × red, short female b)red, long male × red, short female c)red, short male × purple, short female d)purple, short male × red, long female.

genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring).

not too sure but maybe in the hot springs.

c. is the correct answer
