Crossing plants to only obtain desirable traits is known as selective breeding. This can be done with different kinds of plants or plants of the same type.

What do you call plants that resemble those of their parents?

If the plants are not true-breeding(they clone themselves to make children), then plants that resemble their parents just share the same genetic traits by chance due to independent assortment. chances are if you let another generation come from the children, they will have different traits, because of dominant and recessive alleles(forms of a gene) in the parents.

What did mendel call the trait that appeared in all first generation plants?

Mendel referred to the trait that appeared in all first-generation plants as the "dominant" trait. In his experiments with pea plants, he observed that certain traits, such as flower color or seed shape, consistently overshadowed others in the offspring. The traits that did not appear in the first generation were termed "recessive." Mendel's work laid the foundation for the principles of heredity and genetics.


What hereditary factors were described by Mendel?

The first person to put heredity to the test was Gregor Mendel, who systematically tracked dominant and recessive traits in his famous pea plants. Heredity is the passing of traits from parents to their offspring. No one knew about genes at the time. He described what he saw which we call traits.

What do you call a new variety of plant produced by cross-fertilizing related plants?

A new variety of plant produced by cross-fertilizing related plants is called a hybrid. Hybrids combine the traits and characteristics of the parent plants, resulting in unique characteristics in the offspring plant.
