Mendel started out with plants that "bred true". That is, when tall plants were self-pollinated (or cross-pollinated with others like them), plants in following generations were all tall; when the short plants were self-pollinated (or cross- pollinated with others like them) the plants in following generations were all short.
when a bee gets on a male plant it collects the "sperm" then it will fly over to a female plant and the "sperm" is dropped off into the "egg" which will produce seeds and send them out of the plant somewhere in the ground where a new one will grow.
If both parents are true breeding with the same phenotype all the offspring will have the same phenotype and genotype as the parents. Parents and offspring will all be homozygous.
If both parents are true breeding with different phenotypes the resulting offspring will be heterozygous and their phenotype will match the dominant characteristics of the parents.
If one parent carries all the dominant characteristics all heterozygous offspring will have the phenotype of that parent.
If each parent homozygous but carries both dominant and recessive alleles the offspring will be
heterozygous and match the dominant traits of the respective parents.
Ex. Parent1 is AAEEddbb Parent2 is aaeeDDBB the offspring will be genotypically and phenotypically
identical AaEeDdBb but will display a 100% dominant phenotype and be 100% genotypically heterozygous.
True-breeding is an organisms or genotypes that are homozygous for a specific trait and thus always produce offspring that have the same phenotype for that trait.
A true breeding plant is one whose offspring have the same essential characteristics are the parent plant.
They are always homozygous in their alleles, and they exhibit a certain characteristic.
It means that the offspring are like the parent, especially in the desired characteristics.
Pure-bred or homozygous.
A big piece of shiiittt
all offspring in every generation will have the same characteristics of parent plants
dominant true : AA AA or AA Aa or AA AA or recessive true :AA AA
When Mendel crossed a true-breeding short plant with a true-breeding tall plant, all the offspring were tall. Which term describes the gene for tallness?
Dominant.
all offspring in every generation will have the same characteristics of parent plants
Dominant
Dominant
Dominant.
all offspring in every generation will have the same characteristics of parent plants
answer: true breeding plant
A true breeding plant is genetically homozygous. It produces the same type of plants on self fertilization. These plants are very useful for creating hybrids.
The correct term is "true-breeding". What that means is that if he takes his two pea plants with white flowers and breeds them together, he will always get a pea plant with white flowers. Something that is true-breeding for a particular trait is homozygous, i.e. if the allele for red flowers is R and the allele for white flowers is w, then a true-breeding white flowering plant is ww, and true-breeding red flowering plant is RR. If you cross-breed a true-breeding red flowering with a true-breeding white flowering plant, you would get 1/4 of the offspring as true-breeding red flowers, 1/4 of the off-spring as true-breeding white flowers, and 1/2 the offspring as heterozygous (not true-breeding) red flowers - Rw. If you don't start with true-breeding plants - say you start with Rw and ww (a red and a white plant) you get 1/2 the offspring heterozygous red, and 1/2 true-breeding white. Thus if you didn't know anymore, you would assume that half the time when you breed a red and a white plant, you would get a red plant, and half the time a white, which is incorrect. Furthermore, if you conducted the experiment again, say with RR and Rw, you would get a different result (in this case, all red). By starting with plants that are true-breeding, you ensure that you get the same results that properly show how the traits are passed on.
