The rutabega ( \( B \). napus) is a fertile allopolyploid that arose in the wild through hybridization of two different parent species: \( B \). oleracea \( (2 n=18) \) and \( B \). campestris \( (2 n=20) \). In a breeding experiment, you cross this rutabega plant to B. oleracea and then examine the chromosomes in the F1 progeny. True or false: The somatic cells of the F1 progeny will contain 19 chromosomes. True False
