If tall (T) is dominant and small (t) is recessive, and both are homozygous, they would all be tall. (100% tall, heterozygous.) If the tall is heterozygous, it would be 50% tall heterozygous and 50% short heterozygous.

What are the genotypes of the short plants in P1 and F2 Generations?

Because the shot gene in the pea plant is a recessive trait, there is only one possible genotype for it: tt


In the P generation a tall plant was crossed with a short plant No F1 plants were short Short plants reappeared in the F2 generation because?

A cross between members of the F1 generation (Tt x Tt), results in the genotypic ratio of 1TT:2Tt:1tt genotypes in the F2 generation. Because the tall allele is dominant, the phenotypic ratio would be 3 tall:1 short in the F2 generation.


What was the ratio of tall to short plants in the F2 generation mendel experiments?

3.1


How was it possible that there were short plants in the f2 generation if there werent any short plants in the f1 generation?

The reason why short plants reappeared in Mendel's F2 generation of pea plants was because their short trait was heterozygous. Both parents carriedÊthat recessive gene, so they passed it on to their offspring.


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.

What are the genotypes and phenotypes of a cross between a true breeding tall and a true breeding short pea plant?

The results of the first generation were 3 tall plants and 1 short plant, indicating that some activity was making the tall plants more likely, but not exclusively so.
