If Mendel had used non-true breeding plants, the results would likely have been more complex and less clear-cut. Non-true breeding plants can produce a mix of traits in their offspring, potentially obscuring the patterns of inheritance he observed. This could have made it more challenging to identify dominant and recessive traits, possibly delaying the understanding of basic genetic principles. However, dominant and recessive traits would still exist; they just might not have been as easily distinguishable in his experiments.
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.
Some are dominant and some are recessive.
Mendel meant that a dominant factor is a gene that expresses its trait in an individual when present with the corresponding recessive gene. The dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele in a heterozygous individual.
In Mendel's experiments, recessive traits were visible in the F2 generation. After crossing true-breeding plants in the F1 generation, which displayed only dominant traits, the recessive traits reappeared in a ratio of approximately 3:1 in the F2 generation. This observation was crucial for Mendel's formulation of the laws of inheritance.
The ratio of dominant to recessive traits in the F2 generation of Mendel's experiments was 3:1. This is known as the phenotypic ratio for a monohybrid cross, where three individuals display the dominant trait for every one individual displaying the recessive trait.

Some are dominant and some are recessive.
No. At least not him.
He discovered dominant and recessive alleles. He also bread and tested 29,000 pea plants
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.
Mendel meant that a dominant factor is a gene that expresses its trait in an individual when present with the corresponding recessive gene. The dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele in a heterozygous individual.
3:1
definitely the monk Mendel with his plants. He discovered the idea of dominant versus recessive traits.
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.
This is Mendel's principle of dominance. Dominant alleles will always mask the presence of recessive alleles in a heterozygous genotype.
The ratio of dominant to recessive traits in the F2 generation of Mendel's experiments was 3:1. This is known as the phenotypic ratio for a monohybrid cross, where three individuals display the dominant trait for every one individual displaying the recessive trait.
he called the observed traits dominant and the disapear traits recessive.
