What else can I help you with?
When parent plants are crossed how do scientists refer to the first generation of offspring?
F1
What did Gregor Mendel call the parent plants?
Gregor Mendel called the parent plants in his experiments "P generation," which stood for parental generation.
How do you get the f2 generation from the f1 generation?
taken from a science textbook- Scientists today call these parent plants the parental generation, or P generation. The offspring from this cross are the first filial generation or the F1 generation. The word filial comes from filila and flilius, the Latin words for daughter and son. When the plants in the F1 generation were full-grown, Mendel allowed them to self-pollinate. Surprisingly, the plants in the F2 gneration were a mix of tall AND short plants. The shortness trait had reappeared even though none of the F2 parent plants were short. Mendel counted the tall and short plants. About three fourths of the plants were tall, while one fourths were short.
When plants that are true breeding for different traits of a characteristic are crossed the offspring are called?
first-generation plants
What generation did Mendel get when he crossed the plants that produced the F1 generation?
100% percent of the plants expressed the dominate trait ........................................................................................ what do u get when u mix purple with purple you get 100% purple :) simple peace of cake !
What was the original generation for pea plants in Mendel's experiment called?
The original generation for pea plants in Mendel's experiment is called the P generation, or parental generation. This generation consisted of the true-breeding plants that Mendel used to establish the traits he studied. The P generation was crossed to produce the F1 generation, which exhibited the traits inherited from the P generation.
What was the ratio of tall to short plants in the F2 generation mendel experiments?
3.1
When plants that are true breeding for different traits of a characteristic are crossed the trait observed in the first generation is called the?
dominant
When plants that are true breeding for different traits of a characteristics are crossed the trait observed in the first generation is called the?
dominant
When plants that are true breeding for different traits of a characteristic are crossed the trait observed in the first generation is called?
dominant
How was it possible that there were short plants in the f2 generation if there werent any short plants in the f1 generation?
The reason why short plants reappeared in Mendel's F2 generation of pea plants was because their short trait was heterozygous. Both parents carriedÊthat recessive gene, so they passed it on to their offspring.
Why did the recessive trait appear in the f2 generation mendel?
In Mendel's experiments with pea plants, the recessive trait reappeared in the F2 generation due to the segregation of alleles during gamete formation. When he crossed two heterozygous plants (F1 generation), the alleles for the dominant and recessive traits segregated independently, allowing for the possibility of offspring inheriting two recessive alleles. Consequently, the recessive trait manifested in some of the F2 generation plants when they received one recessive allele from each parent. This demonstrated the principles of inheritance, including the re-emergence of recessive traits after skipping a generation.
