Gregor Mendel discovered that recessive traits do not manifest in an organism's phenotype unless two copies of the recessive allele are present. In his pea plant experiments, he observed that when a dominant allele is paired with a recessive allele, the dominant trait dominates the phenotype. Only when both alleles are recessive does the recessive trait become visible in the offspring. This foundational principle of inheritance laid the groundwork for modern genetics.
All the offspring were purple because Mendel was dealing with simple genetic dominance. The purple true breeding parent was homozygous dominant and the true breeding white parent was homozygous recessive. When those two are crossed they create only heterozygous offspring (look up a punnett) and since this is simple dominance those heterozygous will show the phenotype of the dominant allele which is purple.
Gregor Mendel came up with the first formulation of the laws of inheritance of dominant and recessive traits. http://www.answers.com/Gregor+Mendel
False..............
Gregor Mendel is known as the father of modern genetics for his groundbreaking work on pea plants. Through his experiments, Mendel discovered the principles of inheritance, including the concepts of dominant and recessive traits, which laid the foundation for the field of genetics. His work provided a systematic framework for understanding how traits are passed down from generation to generation.
No. At least not him.
Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk, is credited with discovering dominant and recessive traits through his work with pea plants in the mid-19th century. Mendel's experiments laid the foundation for the field of genetics.
He discovered dominant and recessive alleles. He also bread and tested 29,000 pea plants
He is called the "Father of Genetics" but his work was really a study of heredity. He discovered that some properties were dominant and some were recessive.

did research on dominant and recessive traits.
He paved the road to the study of heredity or inheritance. He discovered how inheritance occurs and how traits are expressed through alleles and he proposed the idea of dominant and recessive alleles.
Gregor Mendel discovered the dominant and recessive mode of genetic inheritance.
All the offspring were purple because Mendel was dealing with simple genetic dominance. The purple true breeding parent was homozygous dominant and the true breeding white parent was homozygous recessive. When those two are crossed they create only heterozygous offspring (look up a punnett) and since this is simple dominance those heterozygous will show the phenotype of the dominant allele which is purple.
Gregor Mendel is usually considered the Father of Modern Genetics. He was a monk in Europe who studied genetics by cross breeding plants. He established the idea of dominant and recessive traits. He lived in the mid-1800's.
Having a dominant and recessive allele is known as Mendelian inheritance, named after Gregor Mendel, the scientist who first described it. In this type of inheritance, the dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele in heterozygous individuals.
Gregor Mendel discovered that recessive traits are expressed only when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele, one inherited from each parent. In cases where a dominant allele is present, the dominant trait masks the expression of the recessive trait. Mendel's experiments with pea plants illustrated this concept, leading to the formulation of the laws of inheritance. His work laid the foundation for understanding genetic inheritance patterns.
