How did mendel control the variations in the offspring generations?

Mendel did not control them. He simply predicted what characteristics the offspring would inherit.


Contrast the offspring in the F1 generation to the offspring in the F2 generation. what did the difference in the F1 and F2 offspring show Mendel?

it showed him a new different generation of offspring. :D


What was the second generation of offspring in Mendel experiment?

F2 generation (second filial generation)


What did mendel call the offspring of the first filial generation?

Mendel called the offspring of the first filial generation "F1 hybrids" or "first filial generation." These offspring result from crossing two true-breeding parents with different traits.


In which generation were recessive traits visible Mendel's experiments?

Recessive traits were visible in the F2 generation of Mendel's experiments, where the offspring of the F1 generation showed a 3:1 ratio of dominant to recessive traits.


Why did Mendel use true breeding plants in P generation?

Mendel used true breeding plants in the P generation to establish a consistent genetic background for his experiments. True breeding plants produce offspring with the same traits when self-fertilized, allowing Mendel to control the genetic makeup of the parent generation and achieve predictable results in his crosses.


What did Mendel's work first and second generation mean?

In a typical Mendel experiment, Mendel took two purebreeding lines (the parental generation) and crossed them to produce the 1st filial generation and sometimes would self cross these to produce the 2nd filial generation.


Which generation of plants used in Mendel's research all had the same genotype?

The parental generation (P) of plants used in Mendel's research all had the same genotype for the specific traits he studied. This allowed Mendel to observe the patterns of inheritance without any variations in the parental generation.


What was the original generation of pea plants in mendels experemint called?

The original generation of pea plants in Mendel's experiments is called the P generation, or parental generation. This generation consists of the true-breeding plants that Mendel used to establish the traits he studied in subsequent generations. The P generation's offspring are referred to as the F1 generation, which Mendel observed for inheritance patterns.


What did Gregor Mendel call the traits that disappear in the first generation?

Gregor Mendel called the traits that disappear in the first generation recessive traits. These traits are not expressed in the offspring when there is a dominant trait present.


What did mendel call the first two individual that make in a genetic cross?

Mendel referred to the first two individuals in a genetic cross as the "P generation," which stands for the parental generation. The offspring produced from this generation are called the "F1 generation," or first filial generation. Mendel conducted his experiments with these generations to study the inheritance of traits in pea plants.


Why is height an exception to Mendel's principles of heredity?

although its genetic its traits arent the offspring of the parent generation.
