that the parents were true-breeding for contrasting traits. NOT TRUE. If so, all the offspring would be identical genotypes. Think of a classic cross that gives you a 3:1 ratio and write it out. It would suggest that the parents were both heterozygous for a single trait.

How are the principles of probability used to predict the outcomes of genetic crosses?

Whenever Mendel performed a cross with pea plants, he carefully categorized and counted the many offspring. Every time Mendel repeated a particular cross, obtained similar results. For example, whenever Mendel crossed two plants that were hybrid for stem height (Tt), about three fourths of the resulting plants were tall and about one fourth were short. Mendel realized that the principles of probability could be used to explain the results of genetic crosses.
