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 do true-breeding pea plants always produce?
True-breeding pea plants always produce offspring with the same traits as the parent plant. This is because they are homozygous for the trait of interest, resulting in consistent expression in the offspring generation.
What is the genotype of a pea plant that is true-breeding for purple flowers?
The answer is all of the produced flowers would be Pp
A student crosses two true-breeding pea plants one with green pods and the other with yellow pods. If yellow is dominant over green what phenotypic results will the student find in the F1 generation?
The F1 generation will all have yellow pods because yellow is dominant over green. This is because each parent plant is true-breeding and would only contribute the dominant yellow allele to their offspring.
What can a yellow pea plant and a green pea plant produce?
Both yellow pea plants and green pea plants can produce pea pods containing seeds that can be cooked and eaten as a nutritious vegetable. The color of the seeds inside the pods will match the color of the parent plant's seeds, so yellow pea plants will produce yellow seeds while green pea plants will produce green seeds.

what do true breeding pea plants always produce?
A specific trait. There are true-breeding tall pea plants and true-breeding short pea plants, etc... .

Why were true-breeding pea Plant important for Mendels experiment?
True breeding plants were homozygous for all the characters expressed, hence inheritance of characters was better understood with the help of these plants.
What happened in Mendels experiments when a pea plant received two different alleles for the same 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 happened in Mendel's experiments when a pea plant received two different allele's for the same trait?
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 happened in Mendel's experiments when the pea plant received two different alleles for the same trait?
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?

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?
When does it mean when pea plants are described as being true-breeding?
It means they were produce a sexually and werent cloned.
Why is it important that Mendel began with purebred plant?
The correct term is "true-breeding". What that means is that if he takes his two pea plants with white flowers and breeds them together, he will always get a pea plant with white flowers. Something that is true-breeding for a particular trait is homozygous, i.e. if the allele for red flowers is R and the allele for white flowers is w, then a true-breeding white flowering plant is ww, and true-breeding red flowering plant is RR. If you cross-breed a true-breeding red flowering with a true-breeding white flowering plant, you would get 1/4 of the offspring as true-breeding red flowers, 1/4 of the off-spring as true-breeding white flowers, and 1/2 the offspring as heterozygous (not true-breeding) red flowers - Rw. If you don't start with true-breeding plants - say you start with Rw and ww (a red and a white plant) you get 1/2 the offspring heterozygous red, and 1/2 true-breeding white. Thus if you didn't know anymore, you would assume that half the time when you breed a red and a white plant, you would get a red plant, and half the time a white, which is incorrect. Furthermore, if you conducted the experiment again, say with RR and Rw, you would get a different result (in this case, all red). By starting with plants that are true-breeding, you ensure that you get the same results that properly show how the traits are passed on.
What does it mean when pea plants are being true-bleeding?
When pea plants are true-breeding, it means that they consistently produce offspring with the same traits as the parents. This indicates that the plants are homozygous for the specific traits being studied.
