Pure Traits

Pure traits can be either recessive or dominant. Pure traits may have two dominant genes or two recessive genes. For example, a pea plant may have two genes for tallness, which is dominant trait in pea plants. This plant is homozygous plant with a pure dominant trait for tallness. All of the offspring from this plant will be tall. A pea plant with two genes for shortness is also a pure organism. However, shortness in pea plants is a recessive trait. This plant is a homozygous plant with a pure recessive trait for height. The offspring from this plant will be short if it pollinates with another plant that has two genes for shortness. If this plant pollinates with a tall pea plant, the tall dominant gene will mask or cover up the recessive gene for shortness. Both plants are homozygous or pure plants; one is a pure dominant pea plant, the other is a pure recessive pea plant.

Hybrid Trait

Organisms that have two unlike genes for a certain trait are called hybrid. A pea plant with one recessive gene for shortness and one dominant gene for tallness is a hybrid for that trait. A hybrid is called heterozygous, as it has two different alleles. The offspring from a pure tall pea plant, cross-pollinated with a pure short pea plant, will result in a heterozygous plant for tallness. No organism has all dominant or all recessive genes. An organism may be pure in certain traits and hybrid others. Remember, that a dominant trait in one kind of organism may be a recessive trait in another organism.

What is the difference between a pure and a hybrid organism?

A hybrid is a breed between two are more animals , like a zonkey( hybrid between zebra and donkey) a pure bred imwould be just a zebra or just a donkey.

How will you know if your plant is purebred and hybrid?

An organism which shows a dominant trait can be classified as pure breed or hybrid by test crossing it. In test cross, the organism is crossed with a recessive one. If the F1 progeny shows a dominance-recessiveness ratio of 1:1, it means that the organism was a hybrid. If the f1 progeny shows a ratio of 3:1, it means that the organism was a pure breed.
