Cross Pollination
All the offspring were tall plants. This is because the tall trait is dominant over the short trait in Mendel's experiments on pea plants.
Gregor Mendel took two different colored pea plants: one had traits for white plants and the other had traits for a red plant. When Mendel cross bred the two plants, a plant with traits for a pink plant grew. This is how Mendel contributed to the understanding of inherited traits.
I think not as tall is the dominant allele here.T = tallt = shortTT X ttall would beTt======and tall.

No, not all tall pea plants are purebred for tallness. In Mendel's experiments with pea plants, tallness is a dominant trait, but if a tall plant is heterozygous (having one allele for tallness and one for shortness), it can produce offspring that are either tall or short. Only plants that are homozygous for the tall trait (having two alleles for tallness) will consistently produce tall offspring. Thus, genetic testing or breeding records are needed to determine if a tall pea plant is purebred.
Mendel used purebred plants to ensure that the offspring of his experiments would have consistent and predictable traits. By controlling the genetic makeup of the parent plants, he could more easily observe and analyze the patterns of inheritance in their offspring.
They produce many offspring
They produce many offspring
In his first set of experiments, Mendel crossed purebred pea plants with different traits, such as tall and short plants. He observed the inheritance patterns in the offspring of these crosses over several generations. Mendel showed that traits are inherited independently and proposed the laws of segregation and independent assortment.
because they produce fast and he was familiar with them
Mendel obtained his P generation by cross-breeding selected purebred plants that displayed contrasting traits. This allowed him to study how traits are passed down from one generation to the next.
because it helped Mendel discover which plants would be crossed to produce offspring.
