In his classic pea plant experiments, Gregor Mendel observed that among the offspring of a cross between round and wrinkled seeds, he counted about 5474 round seeds and 1850 wrinkled seeds in the F2 generation. This ratio approximates a 3:1 ratio, supporting his hypothesis of inheritance and the dominance of the round seed trait over the wrinkled seed trait.
He allowed plants whose seeds were round or wrinkled in shape to self pollinate. This trait has two variations-either round or wrinkled seeds.
He allowed plants whose seeds were round or wrinkled in shape to self pollinate. This trait has two variations-either round or wrinkled seeds.
When Mendel crossed true-breeding pea plants with round yellow seeds (dominant traits) and those with wrinkled green seeds (recessive traits), the offspring displayed round yellow seeds because the alleles for round shape and yellow color are dominant over the alleles for wrinkled shape and green color. This resulted in a phenotype where the dominant traits mask the effects of the recessive ones in the F1 generation. Thus, all the hybrid offspring exhibited the dominant traits of round yellow seeds.
Mendel described two seed shapes among the pea seeds in his study: Smooth and Wrinkled.
Seeds come in different sizes and shapes. Some are oval with a point at one end. This would be an example of an apple seed. Other seeds are helicopters which means they spin when dropped. An example of this seed is a conifer tree seed.

Round and wrinkled seeds were observed by Mendel in Pea plant while experimenting on its hybridization process. Round or wrinkled stage of seed is a physical trait in pea plant.

False. When Mendel allowed heterozygous F1 plants with round yellow seeds to self-pollinate, he found that the F2 generation followed the expected 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio. This means that all possible combinations of seed shape (round or wrinkled) and seed color (yellow or green) were observed in the F2 generation in the ratio of 9 round yellow: 3 round green: 3 wrinkled yellow: 1 wrinkled green.
If round seeds are dominant and wrinkled seeds are recessive, then in a cross between two plants with heterozygous genotypes (Rr), 75% of the offspring will have round seeds (25% RR, 50% Rr) and 25% will have wrinkled seeds (rr).
The probability that an offspring will have wrinkled seeds is 2 in 4 or 50%
In pea plants round seeds are dominant to wrinkled. So to have round seeds you either will have two dominant alleles (homozygous dominant) or one dominant and one recessive allele (heterozygous)
Mendel described two seed shapes among the pea seeds in his study: Smooth and Wrinkled.
The dominant alleles in Mendel's pea plants were those responsible for the traits of round seeds (R) versus wrinkled seeds (r), yellow seeds (Y) versus green seeds (y), purple flowers (P) versus white flowers (p), and inflated pods (I) versus constricted pods (i).
