What was the result when gregor mendel crossed a tall plant and a short plant?

Since the dominant allele in pea plant breeding is the tall allele, all of the offspring of this cross were tall. However, when he crossed two tall plants from the first filial generation, 75% of the second filial generation were tall, and 25% of the second filial generation were short, thus hinting at the mechanism of what we today recognize as genetic inheritance.

When gregor mendel crossed a tall plant with a short plant the F1 plant inherited what?
one tall allele and one short allele
Plant studied by Gregor Mendel?
Pea Plant
Did Gregor Mendel use animals in his experiments?
Mendel studied plant inheritance.
Who invented the pea plant?
Gregor Mendel
What type of plant was Gregor Mendel famous for?
he was famous for the pea plant
Who is the father of concept of plant growth?
Gregor Johann Mendel.
The plant used by Mendel for his experiment?
Gregor Mendel used pea plants for his hereditary experiments
What did Gregor Mendel do involving astronomy?
He looked at the stars. Mendel is known for his experiments and research in plant genetics.
Who discovered genetic engineering?
Gregor Mendel....with his pea plant studies
What plant Gregor Mendel use for his studies?
pea pod plants
What do Gregor Mendel's peas have to do with the study of the heredity?
Mendel did his experiments by using pea plants with various traits like the color of the flower, the shape of the seeds, the height of the plants etc and studied how those traits behave when crossed. For example, what happens when a short plant with red color flowers was crossed with a tall plant with purple colored flower etc.
How did Gregor Mendel contribute to your understanding of inheritance?
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.
