one allele from each parent
The F1 generation inherited one dominant (tall) allele from the tall parent and a recessive (short) allele from the short parent. The F1 generation were heterozygous and tall.
They inherited a T (tall) allele from the tall parent, and a t (short) allele from the short parent. This is only if we assume that both parents are homozygous, which the short parent would need to be for the short trait to show. If this is true, then the F1 generation would show the tall trait 4/4 times, and would end up with the genotype Tt 4/4 times.
Each of the F1 plants inherited a tall allele from the tall parent and a short allele from the short parent. The F1 generation was therefore heterozygous and tall.
student use your book; it'll tell you the answer.... :D
because the tall allele is dominant
Hi
Four genetically different cells
B inherited through the passing of factors from parents to offspring
He was an Austrian monk who observed how traits are inherited. :):):)
discovered traits are inherited as discrete factors
Gregor Mendel
These are principles which Gregor Mendel discovered when he carried out his experiments on inheritance in pea plants. Mendel discovered that each character eg height of the plant, is controlled by two genes (which he called 'factors'), one from each parent. The Law of Segregation states that when gametes (sex cells: eggs and sperm) are produced, the two genes in each pair separate (segregate) and go to different cells. This means that eggs and sperm end up with only one copy of each gene, instead of a pair of genes. Mendel also discovered that genes occurred in alternative versions which we call alleles eg the height gene can be the tall allele or the short allele. If an individual plant inherits one tall allele and one short allele, the tall allele 'hides' the short allele and the plant is tall. The tall allele is called the dominant allele. Dominant alleles only need to be inherited from one parent to produce an effect. The short allele is called the recessive allele. A recessive allele must be inherited from both parents in order to produce an effect.
one tall allele and one short allele

Inherited
Gregor Mendel
They inherited a T (tall) allele from the tall parent, and a t (short) allele from the short parent. This is only if we assume that both parents are homozygous, which the short parent would need to be for the short trait to show. If this is true, then the F1 generation would show the tall trait 4/4 times, and would end up with the genotype Tt 4/4 times.
Gregor Johann Mendel
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.
Gregor Johann Mendel
that traits are inherited independently
