One of the traits that Mendel studied was pod shape in pea plants If a full pod F is dominant and a flat pod f is recessive what is the genotype of plants with flat pods?

They wouldhave to be f-f - otherwise they would surely have full pods as the full pod (F) is dominant. F-F would result in full pods, F-f likewise would result in full pods as F is dominant and f is recessive. The only combination that would result in flat pods is therefore f-f.

What is a testcross?
Gregor Mendel devised the fundamental tool of the test cross. It is an experimental cross of an individual organism of dominant phenotype but unknown genotype and an organism with a homozygous recessive genotype .
True or False In heterozygous individuals only the recessive allele is expressed?
In heterozygous individuals, only the dominant allele is expressed. The recessive allele is present, but not expressed
Is it true that mendel assumed that a dominant allele had masked the corresponding recessive allele in the f1 generation?
No. A recessive trait is masked by a dominant trait.
Recessive genes will always be masked by dominant genes This is Mendel's principle of?
Dominance
Trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant by the dominant form of a trait?
A trait that masks another trait is called dominant, or a dominant trait.
Gregor Mendel is studied in this course because he?
did research on dominant and recessive traits.
What did Gregor Mendel study?
He studied dominant and recessive genes. He studied pea plants and the traits that they obtained from previous generations.
What is a testcross?
Gregor Mendel devised the fundamental tool of the test cross. It is an experimental cross of an individual organism of dominant phenotype but unknown genotype and an organism with a homozygous recessive genotype .
What Did Mendel Study To Do With Organisms?
Mendel studied sweet peas. He studied the inheriance of certain traits in pea plants. His studies of the passing of certain traits formed the basis for our understanding of dominant and recessive genes in plants and animals.
How did Gregor Mendel Contribute to science?
He was the father of modern genetics. He studied inheritance with pea plants and developed the theory of dominant and recessive traits.
True or False In heterozygous individuals only the recessive allele is expressed?
In heterozygous individuals, only the dominant allele is expressed. The recessive allele is present, but not expressed
In the F2 generation in Mendel's experiment's the ratio of dominant to recessive traits was?
3:1 homozygous dominant, heterozygous dominant, heterozygous dominant and homozygous recessive.
What did Gregor Mendel study from 1853 to 1884?
Mendel studied sweet peas. He studied the inheriance of certain traits in pea plants. His studies of the passing of certain traits formed the basis for our understanding of dominant and recessive genes in plants and animals.
What ratio did mendel find for dominant to recessive?
3:1
Is it easier to analyze genotype by observing phenotype in organisms with complete dominance or in organisms with incomplete dominance?
It is easier to analyze genotype by observing phenotype in organisms with incomplete dominance (also known as codominance), because in incomplete dominance the individual will show a specific phenotype for each situation, whether it is homozygous dominant, heterozygous, or homozygous recessive. For example, in flowers, such as the ones that Mendel studied, a homozygous dominant flower will be red, a homozygous recessive flower will be white, and a heterozygous flower will be pink. In complete dominance, a heterozygous will only express the dominant phenotype, as opposed to incomplete dominance, in which a heterozygous individual will express a phenotype that is representative of both of the dominant and recessive traits. Because heterozygous individuals in complete dominance express the dominant phenotype, it is hard to determine whether the genotype is homozygous dominant or heterozygous for the trait. Hope this helps!
Is it true that mendel assumed that a dominant allele had masked the corresponding recessive allele in the f1 generation?
No. A recessive trait is masked by a dominant trait.
Recessive genes will always be masked by dominant genes This is Mendel's principle of?
