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.

Organisms that produce offspring identical to themselves if allowed to self pollinate?
No, use a punnent square, there wold be different allele combinations possible, the only way this could happen is if no mutations occurred, and each allele is the same
When gregor mendel crossed true breeding purple flowered plants with true breeding white flowered plants all of the offspring were purple because?
Ture
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 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.
what do true breeding pea plants always produce?
A specific trait. There are true-breeding tall pea plants and true-breeding short pea plants, etc... .

What is true-breeding?
Referring to organisms for which sexual reproduction produces offspring with inherited traits identical to those of the parents. The organisms are homozygous for the characteristics under consideration.
The offspring of two true-breeding plants is .?
When two true-breeding plants are crossed, only one result is possible.
What letters can be used to model Mendel's cross of true breeding tall plants with true breeding short plants in punnett square?
True breeding tall plants would be TT and true breeding short plants would be tt, so TT x tt would illustrate the crossbreeding.

What are offspring of true breeding parents called?
Offspring of true-breeding parents are called F2 generation. This is often seen in hybrid breeding programs when they are working to produce a certain trait.
