Mendel used the term "dominant" to describe a trait that emerged in the F1 generation.
he crossed two pure lines
The F1 generation of crossing a tall plant with a short plant resulted in all tall plants. This is because the tall trait is dominant and the short trait is recessive in Mendel's experiments with pea plants.
The ratio of dominant to recessive phenotype in the F2 generation of Mendel's experiment was 3:1. This means that for every 3 individuals expressing the dominant trait, there was 1 individual expressing the recessive trait.
Three times as many shorts plants as tall plants.
Yes, Gregor Mendel's principle of dominance stated that in the F1 generation, the dominant allele would mask the expression of the corresponding recessive allele. This means that only the dominant trait would be observed in the offspring.
Mendel's F1 generation plants showed only one of the two traits present in the parental generation. This indicated that the trait expressed in the F1 generation was dominant, while the other trait was recessive.
When Mendel crossed the offspring generation, specifically the F1 generation (which displayed the dominant trait), with each other, the trait for shortness (the recessive trait) reappeared in the F2 generation. This occurred in a predictable ratio, typically 3:1, where three plants exhibited the dominant trait and one exhibited the recessive trait. Thus, the trait for shortness was not lost; it remained hidden in the F1 generation but became visible once again in the F2 generation.
Mendel referred to the characteristic expressed in the hybrid F1 generation as the dominant trait. This trait masks the expression of the recessive allele in the heterozygous individual.
Mendel's Law - The first law of Mendel states that "In a cross of parents that are pure for contrasting traits, only one form of the trait will appear in the next generation. Offspring that are hybrid for a trait will have only the dominant trait in the phenotype."
Mendel referred to the trait that appeared in all first-generation plants as the "dominant" trait. In his experiments with pea plants, he observed that certain traits, such as flower color or seed shape, consistently overshadowed others in the offspring. The traits that did not appear in the first generation were termed "recessive." Mendel's work laid the foundation for the principles of heredity and genetics.
he crossed two pure lines
Gregor Mendel called the traits that disappear in the first generation recessive traits. These traits are not expressed in the offspring when there is a dominant trait present.
The first generation of of pea plants that Mendel bred were tall.
the F1 is 3:1
Mendel referred to the trait that appeared in all of his first-generation plants as the "dominant" trait. In his experiments with pea plants, he observed that when he crossed different varieties, one trait would consistently manifest in the offspring, overshadowing the other trait, which he termed "recessive." This foundational concept established the basis for understanding inheritance patterns in genetics.
The F1 generation of crossing a tall plant with a short plant resulted in all tall plants. This is because the tall trait is dominant and the short trait is recessive in Mendel's experiments with pea plants.
Recessive trait carried by a hybrid or heterozygote.
