parental generation
Why did mendel use plants that were true breeding for each of the traits he was studying?
potatoe
What describes F2 generation in Mendel's experiments?
Three times as many shorts plants as tall plants.
What does mean for a pea plant to be true breeding?
all offspring in every generation will have the same characteristics of parent plants
What did mendel perform when he crossed plants that were heterozygous for two traits?
When Mendel crossed a true-breeding short plant with a true-breeding tall plant, all the offspring were tall. Which term describes the gene for tallness?
What term did Mendel used to signify his true breeding first-generation?
parental generation
Why was it important that Gregor Mendel use true-breeding plants in his experience?
He needed a pure generation of plants to ensure that there were no recessive factors when he conducted his experiments on heredity.
If Gregor Mendel didn't use plants that were not true breeding then would he have discovered dominant and recessive traits?
If Gregor Mendel did not use plants that were not true breeding, he would not have discovered heredity because there would not be any evidence that traits passed on to the next generation and that the offspring retained the traits of the parents.

When gregor mendel crossed true breeding purple flowered plants with true breeding white flowered plants all of the offspring were purple because?
Ture
Which letters can be use to model Mendel's cross of true breeding tall plants with true breeding short plants in a Punnett Square?
TT x tt
What Mendel's first experiment crossed true-breeding plants with different versions of the hereditary factor for a trait. best describes Mendel's results?
Tt and TT were the genotypes of the true breeding plants that Mendel used in his two factor cross.
What characteristic was true of mendel's f1 generation plants?
they were all hybrids
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 step did Mendel take to be sure his pea plants crossed pollinated?
he used plants that were NOT true breeding!
What step did Mendel take to be sure that his pea plants cross -pollinated?
he used plants that were NOT true breeding!
