In which generation were recessive traits hidden in all the plants in Mendels experiments?

f2 generation


What wos the of tall to short plants in the F2 generation of Mendel's experiment?

In Mendel's experiment, the ratio of tall to short plants in the F2 generation was approximately 3:1. This ratio is explained by Mendel's law of segregation, which states that alleles separate randomly during gamete formation, resulting in different combinations in offspring.


What was Mendel's results to his first experiment?

In Mendel's first experiment with pea plants, he crossed true-breeding plants with contrasting traits (e.g., tall and short). He found that the first generation (F1) offspring all displayed one of the traits, while the second generation (F2) showed a 3:1 ratio of the dominant to recessive trait. This led him to formulate his principles of inheritance, now known as Mendelian genetics.


What is the offspring produces by crossing f1 plants known as?

The offspring produced by crossing F1 plants is known as F2 generation. This generation results from the self-pollination of F1 hybrid plants. The F2 generation exhibits greater genetic variability due to the recombination of alleles from the original parental lines.


How do you get the f2 generation from the f1 generation?

taken from a science textbook- Scientists today call these parent plants the parental generation, or P generation. The offspring from this cross are the first filial generation or the F1 generation. The word filial comes from filila and flilius, the Latin words for daughter and son. When the plants in the F1 generation were full-grown, Mendel allowed them to self-pollinate. Surprisingly, the plants in the F2 gneration were a mix of tall AND short plants. The shortness trait had reappeared even though none of the F2 parent plants were short. Mendel counted the tall and short plants. About three fourths of the plants were tall, while one fourths were short.
