An F1 x F1 cross would be a cross between heterozygous (Tt) parents. The offspring would be 1/4 TT, 1/2 Tt, and 1/4 tt. This would mean that 3/4 of the offspring would be tall, and 1/4 would be short.These offspring would be the F2 generation.

What does P1 stand for in mendels theory?

P1 stands for "parental generation." This refers to the parents (mom and dad) who start off the pedigree. The P1 generation can then produce offspring (called the F1, or "first filial generation"). The F1 generation could then produce the F2 generation (or "second filial generation").

Why did Gregor Mendel chose pea plants for experiment?

How did Mendel find out whether the recessive alleles were still present in the f plants?

he breeded the f1 plants with a recessive homozygous plant and if the offspring (f2) showed the recessive allele, then the recessive allele is still present in the f1 plant

If the alleles for traits in pea plants did not segregate during gamete formation and offspring that were recessive for a trait could be produced only by crossing two plants that where recessive?

Yes.


What could have been the genotypes of the two original plants what could not have been presentSuppose Mendel crossed two pea plants and got both tall and short offspring.?

It sounds like you're talking about Mendelian Genetics. ;-) If by hybrid pea you mean heterozygous, then you're look at two Aa genotypes, ya? So if you just set up your Punnett square... (Hopefully the formatting will hold) A a --------------------- A| AA Aa a| Aa AA So you get 2 phenotypes! 75% of the offspring will be tall plants (because AA, Aa, and Aa will all produce tall plants), and 25% of the offspring will be short plants (only AA can produce short plants). But if you think your plants are homozygous (AA), then you'll only get 1 phenotype, they'll all be just like the parent plants (tall)!
