When Mendel crossed a true-breeding short plant with a true-breeding tall plant, all the offspring were tall. Which term describes the gene for tallness?
Mendel used pea plants in his experiment because they have distinct traits that are easy to observe and manipulate. Pea plants also have a relatively short life cycle which allowed Mendel to conduct multiple generations of controlled breeding experiments. This made it an ideal model organism for studying inheritance patterns.
Mendel used true breeding plants in the P generation to establish a consistent genetic background for his experiments. True breeding plants produce offspring with the same traits when self-fertilized, allowing Mendel to control the genetic makeup of the parent generation and achieve predictable results in his crosses.
Mendel obtained his P generation by cross-breeding selected purebred plants that displayed contrasting traits. This allowed him to study how traits are passed down from one generation to the next.
Mendel established the science of genetics. He is often referred to as the "Father of Genetics" for his pioneering work in studying the inheritance of traits in pea plants.

If Gregor Mendel did not use plants that were not true breeding, he would not have discovered heredity because there would not be any evidence that traits passed on to the next generation and that the offspring retained the traits of the parents.

Pea plants also have a relatively short life cycle which allowed Mendel to conduct multiple generations of controlled breeding experiments. This made it an ideal model organism for studying inheritance patterns.
Mendel produced true-breeding strains of pea plants through the process of self-fertilization, where he allowed plants to pollinate themselves. This ensured that the offspring inherited identical traits to the parents. Mendel then used these true-breeding strains to conduct his experiments on inheritance.
Mendel obtained plants that were true-breeding for particular traits by ensuring that they were self-fertilized for several generations until they consistently produced offspring with the same trait. This allowed him to establish pure breeding lines that consistently exhibited the desired traits in subsequent generations.
Gregor Mendel studied pea plants to understand how traits are inherited. He used pea plants because they have easily observable traits that can be controlled for breeding experiments, making them ideal for studying patterns of inheritance. Mendel's work with pea plants laid the foundation for modern genetics.
False.

Gregor Mendel's discovery involved studying the inheritance of traits in pea plants, noting patterns of dominance and recessiveness. Through cross-breeding experiments, he observed that certain traits were consistently passed down in predictable ratios, which led to the development of his laws of inheritance. Mendel's work laid the foundation for the field of genetics.
Mendel established the science of genetics. He is often referred to as the "Father of Genetics" for his pioneering work in studying the inheritance of traits in pea plants.
The original generation for pea plants in Mendel's experiment is called the P generation, or parental generation. This generation consisted of the true-breeding plants that Mendel used to establish the traits he studied. The P generation was crossed to produce the F1 generation, which exhibited the traits inherited from the P generation.
