if the pea plant has 2 recessive alleles then the plant is gonna come out short.but if it has 1 recessive and one dominant allele then the plant turns out tall, because the dominant allele can be present without the recessive allele.

Using the terms dominant recessive explain the difference between genotype and phenotype?

No, I think you have your terms confused.The terms "dominant" and "recessive" are applied to alleles of a genotype. A genotype is an expression (using upper- and lower-case letters) that shows what alleles an organism has for a particular locus. The two alleles (in most cases) inherited (one from mother and one from father) can either be dominant or recessive. The recessive allele is not fully expressed in the presence of the dominant allele and is only expressed when there are two recessive alleles. The genotype could be called "recessive" I suppose if the genotype is homozygous recessive. But remember that two recessive alleles as a genotype is only one possibility - in which case you can't say the "genotype is recessive".The phenotype is dependent on the genotype. If present, the dominant alleles (in simple Mendelian genetics) will determine the phenotype - what the organism's trait or characteristic is. The phenotype will never be what is coded by the recessive allele unless the genotype is two recessive alleles.


Explain using examples why plants undergo modifications to their plants?

Plants undergo mutations to develop a plant that can survive longer. For example, millions of years ago plants couldn't live outside of water because the conditions were too harsh. They managed to evolve and live on land by developing cuticles and different ways of pollinating.

What did Gregor Mendel contribute to modern genetics?

Gregor Mendel : "Father of genetics" studied pea plants to explain heredity. This was before genes and chromosomes were discovered. Why pea plants: Inexpensive, Easy to control reproduction, and produce many offsprings. Ex: yellow or green seeds Mendel's work: There are different versions of one gene called alleles Began with cross pollinating( mating) pure plants with contrasting traits.
