What happened in Mendel's experiment when a pea plant received two different alleles for the same trait?

He did an experiment with a tall pea plant and a small pea plant. He then went through 2 generations of breeding of these plants and noticed 3 distinct different types of plants. One type was really short, the other was average height, and the final was Tall.
He combined 2 medium sized plants with each other (Tt) and (Tt).
*T = Tall gene.
*t = shortness gene.
Put that into you Punnett square and you will get these answers:
The small plant had a recessive gene (tt).
The medium sized plant had the average set of genes (Tt).
The tall plant also had a recessive gene (TT).
The results were:
1 Small Plant, 2 Medium Plants, and 1 Large Plant.
The recessive allele was hidden by the dominant allele
The recessive allele was hidden by the dominant allele.
the recessive allele was hidden by the dominant allele. (novanet)
The recessive allele was hidden by the dominant allele.

novanet:
The recessive allele was hidden by the dominant allele!

∙ 10y agoHe made his Laws of Inheritance. The Law of Segregation states that every organism has a pair of alleles for each trait and these alleles split and a random allele is passed on to offspring. The Law of Independent Assortment states that separate genes for separate traits are passed independently to offspring.

What happened in mendels experiments when a pea received two different alleles for the same trait?
Unless the alleles are codominate (which Mendel did not have in pea plants), one will be dominate and will be what you see (phenotype) and one will be recessive and you will not see it.
What was the original generation of pea plants in mendels experiment?
P1 or parental
In mendels experiment a trait that always disappeared in the f1 generation but reappeared in the f2 generation was called the?
recessive trait
When two traits are on different chromosomes how are they inherited?
By mendelian genetics and Mendels law of segregation
Why did mendels use pure lines in his experiment?
He needed a control group. *Apex*
What experiment method did gregor Mendels use during his study of inheritance?
Gregor Mendels goal was to figure genetics
Which best describes the pure lines in mendels experiment?
They were homozygous.

Kind of trait that always appeared in the offspring produced in mendels first experiment?
Division.
What was the ratio of dominant to recessive phenotype in the F2 generation of Mendels experiment?
3:1

RECESSIVE
