Since squash plants do not self-pollinate, they cannot produce a true-breeding generation (known as the P generation in Mendel's experiment).

Thus, there will be two consequences:

1. Obtaining a pure-breeding squash plant will be hard or nearly impossible.

2. Recessive traits will show up earlier in the generations. For example, in Mendel's pea-plant experiment, recessive traits reappeared in the F2 (second filial) generation. In this case, recessive traits could appear in the F1 (first filial) or P (parental) generation... or even earlier.

Is Heisenbergs uncertainity principle still relevant after the direct observation of quantum particles by 2012 Nobel physics winners?

Yes. As expected by physicists these experiments did not invalidate the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.


Do experiments always turn out as expected?

Scientist are often confronted by situations in which their results do not turn out expected. Unexpected results often give scientists as much information as expected results do. So, unexpected results are as important as expected results.
