What was the result when Mendel cross pollinated true breeding purple flowering plants and true breeding white flowering plants?

He got purple flowers, because purple is dominant over white, and a plant with the combination of purple and white will be purple.
P being the purple gene, p being the white, Pp will be purple, just like PP. Only pp will be white.

Is an orange tree a flowering or nonflowering plant?
Yes, most are wind pollinated but many have fairly large insect pollinated flowers. Deciduous trees with noticable flowers include, magnolias, laburnum, horse chestnuts, apple, cherries and lilacs.
Step 1 of Mendel's garden pea experiments allowing each variety of garden pea to self pollinate for several generations produced which generation?
Mendel found that every fourth plant had white flowers when he allowed the first generation to self-pollinate. Gregor Mendel was a scientist who lived from 1822 to 1884.hyuyt6yt8
Why did Mendel use true breeding plants in P generation?
BEcause cross pollinating
Why did mendel use plants that were true breeding for each of the traits he was studying?
potatoe
Why did Mendel continue some of his experiments to the F2 or F3 generation?
Gregor Mendel did his experiments because he was looking to see how genetics and heredity worked. He used pea plants because they bred true. He found that the taller plants all produced tall plants if they were self pollinated. If short plants were used and were cross pollinated, they would all be short.
What step did Mendel take to be sure his pea plants crossed pollinated?
he used plants that were NOT true breeding!
What step did Mendel take to be sure that his pea plants cross -pollinated?
he used plants that were NOT true breeding!
What did Mendel do to make sure the plants in his experiments cross pollinated and did not self pollinate?
he used plants that were NOT true breeding!
Are shrubs flowering plants?
No, shrubs are not wind pollinated therefore not a flowering plant. Most flowering plants are pollinated by insects, :D
What did Gregor Mendel do study different characteristics in his genetics experiments?
Gregor Mendel took two true-breeding plants with contrasting traits and cross-pollinated them, producing offspring with genes for both characteristics. He used selective breeding.
Whose theories are the basis for modern breeding techniques of plants and animals?
Gregor Mendel's theories are the basis for modern breeding techniques of plants and animals. Mendel was a German friar who experimented with breeding pea plants.
Can bees hurt or kill flowering plants?
No, but when pollinated an individual flower will start to close.
What flowers do not need to be pollinated by bees?
Night-flowering, other-pollinated, and wind-pollinated flowers are those which do not need to be pollinated by bees. For example, night-flowering plants may be pollinated by bats, beetles or flies whereas the wind takes responsibility for less bright-colored, less sweet-scented herbaceous flora.
How did Mendel make sure that plants cross pollinated?
He pollinated the plants himself and in the process he mixed the pollen from pea plants that had different colored to see what the end result would be (I got this all from a textbook I swear)

What results did mendel get when he allowed the first- generation plants to self- pollinate?
Gregor Mendel developed the model of heredity that now bears his name by experiments on various charactersitics of pea plants: height (tall vs. Short); seed color (yellow vs. Green); seat coat (smooth vs. wrinkled), etc. The following explanation uses the tall/short trait. The other traits Mendel studied can be substituted for tall and short.Mendel started out with plants that "bred true". That is, when tall plants were self-pollinated (or cross-pollinated with others like them), plants in following generations were all tall; when the short plants were self-pollinated (or cross- pollinated with others like them) the plants in following generations were all short.Mendel found that if true breeding Tall [T] plants are crossed (bred) with true breeding short [t] plants, all the next generation of plants, called F1, are all tall.Next, he showed that self-pollinated F1 plants (or cross- pollinated with other F1 plants) produce an F2 generation with 3/4 of the plants tall and 1/4 short.A. 1/4 of the F2 generation are short plants, which produce only short plants in the F3 generation, if they are self- pollinated (or crossed with other short F2 plants;) these F2 plants breed true.B, 1/4 of the F2 generation (1/3 of the tall plants) are tall plants that produce only tall plants in the F3 generation, if they are self-pollinated; these tall F2 plants breed true.C. 1/2 of the F2 generation (2/3 of the tall plants) are tall plants that produce 1/4 short plants and 3/4 tall plants in the next [F3] generation, if they are self-pollinated. This is the same proportion of tall to short that F1 plants produce.
What Mendel's first experiment crossed true-breeding plants with different versions of the hereditary factor for a trait. best describes Mendel's results?
Tt and TT were the genotypes of the true breeding plants that Mendel used in his two factor cross.
