If Mendel's experiments were not true breeding, then he would not be ablt to tell the recessive alleles showed up in the F2 progeny. Since the F1 generation would have showed the dominant trait regardless, the only way to show the recessive alleles carry to the F2 is to have true breeding parents.

What experiment method did gregor Mendels use during his study of inheritance?

Gregor Mendel used controlled breeding experiments with pea plants to study inheritance. He crossed different varieties that displayed contrasting traits and carefully analyzed the patterns of inheritance in the offspring generations. Through these controlled experiments, he was able to establish the principles of heredity.

Why were true-breeding pea Plant important for Mendels experiment?

True breeding plants were homozygous for all the characters expressed, hence inheritance of characters was better understood with the help of these plants.


Which letter can be used to model Mendels cross of true breeding tall plants with true breeding short plants in a Punnett square?

True breeding tall plants would be TT and true breeding short plants would be tt, so TT x tt would illustrate the crossbreeding.
