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.

What does it mean for a pea plant to be true breeding?
A true breeding pea plant means that when it self-pollinates, it produces offspring with the same trait as the parent plant. This indicates that the plant is homozygous for that particular trait and will consistently pass it on to its offspring.
The best definition of a true-breeding plant is one that?
A true-breeding plant is one that produces offspring with the same traits as the parent when self-pollinated or cross-pollinated with another true-breeding plant. This indicates that the plant is homozygous for a particular trait and will consistently pass on that trait to its offspring.
What does mean for a pea plant to be true breeding?
all offspring in every generation will have the same characteristics of parent plants
How can you get a true breeding plant?
You can obtain a true-breeding plant by repeatedly self-pollinating a plant that consistently produces offspring with the same characteristics as the parent. This ensures that the desired traits are consistently passed on without variation.
What is the genotype of a pea plant that is true-breeding for purple flowers?
The answer is all of the produced flowers would be Pp
What does it mean for a pea plant to be true breeding?
A true breeding pea plant means that when it self-pollinates, it produces offspring with the same trait as the parent plant. This indicates that the plant is homozygous for that particular trait and will consistently pass it on to its offspring.
When Mendel crossed a true breeding short plant with a true breeding tall plant all the offspring were tall which term describe the gene for tallness?
Dominant

What plant produces offspring's with the same trait as the parents?
answer: true breeding plant
What is the meaning of 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.

Why is it important that Mendel began with purebred plant?
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.
What is a true - breeding plant?
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.
What happened in Mendels experiments when a pea plant received two different alleles for the same traits?
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?
What happened in Mendel's experiments when a pea plant received two different allele's for the same trait?
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?
