F1 crosses in feild corn give a uniform plant(for example the male plant may
have a tall strong stalk x female plant with short stalk with large ear) the
resulting cross might yeild a medto tall plant with good yeild. Some crosses
with flowers (Red x White)= F1 pink.When you cross the F1s you get the
random colors 1/4 red ,1/2 pink ,1/4 white.If I am wrong please feel free
to correct me.
