For each of the seven characters Medel studied,he found the same 3:1 ratio of plants expressing the contrasting traits in the f2 generation.

Mendel saw purple flowers in the F generation but both purple and white flowers in the F How did this help him see that traits are inherited as discrete units?

Mendel's observation of the purple flowers in the F1 generation and both purple and white flowers in the F2 generation indicated that traits are inherited as discrete units called alleles. The presence of both traits in the F2 generation showed that the white flower trait was not lost and could reappear in later generations, demonstrating the concept of dominant and recessive alleles.


What generation did Mendel get when he crossed the plants that produced the F1 generation?

100% percent of the plants expressed the dominate trait ........................................................................................ what do u get when u mix purple with purple you get 100% purple :) simple peace of cake !


What did Gregor Mendel study to develop the rules for genetic traits?

Around 1857, Gregor Mendel began breeding green peas to study inheritance. Although heredity was still unknown at the time, Mendel was curious about the subject. Mendel worked with green peas because they were simple to test, produced large numbers of offspring, and had different variety of traits. Mendel discovered that when he bred two true-breeding peas: one purple and one white (a purple flower's offspring will always turn out purple) produced offspring of purple flowers (why was it only purple and not white?) because the trait for a purple color for peas is more dominant. Then he decides to breed those new purple flowers. Mendel found a 3 to 1 ratio of purple and white flowers. This led to two laws from Mendel: the law of segregation and the law of independent assortment.He studied the effects genetics had on the colors of the flowers of a plant.


What was the main experiments Gregor Mendel carried out?

Gregor Mendel's main experiment involved breeding pea plants to study inheritance patterns. He crossed plants with different traits, such as tall and short, to observe how characteristics were passed down to offspring. Through his experiments, Mendel discovered the fundamental principles of heredity, known as Mendelian genetics.


A palnt with purple flowers is allowed to self pollinate generation after generation it produces purple flowers this is an example of?

This is an example of true breeding for a single trait, known as purple flower color in this case. The consistent expression of the purple flower trait across generations indicates that the plant is homozygous for that trait and consistently passes it on through self-pollination.

What was the first generation offspring in Mendel's experiment?

3 purple flowers and 1 white flower the ratio is 3:1 ur welcome! hahaha


Mendel found purple flowers in the f1 generation both prple and white flowers in the f1 generation how did this help him see that traits are inherited as discrete units?

Because he grasped that there had to be an independant "factor" as he called genes and that even if they don't always manifest they are still there and intact.

What happened when Mendel crossed a purple flowered pea plant with a white flowered plant?

Mendel observed that all the offspring had purple flowers, showing that purple is dominant over white in pea plants. He discovered the principle of dominance and the concept of alleles.


What kind of trait seems to disappear in the first generation?

all flowers are purple

A plant with purple flowers is allowed to self-pollinate Generation after generation it produces purple flowers This is an example of?

Not necessarily. Many plants now days have been hybridized and will eventually revert to their 'orginal' colors.


What was the first generation of offspring in Mendels experiment?

The first generation of offspring from a cross is called the F1 generation.


What pea attributes did Mendel use?

Mendel crossbred -tall & dwarf pea plants, -green & yellow peas, -purple & white flowers, -wrinkled & smooth peas. And a few other traits.


What was the result when Mendel cross pollinated true breeding purple flowering plants and true breeding white flowering plants?

He got purple flowers, because purple is dominant over white, and a plant with the combination of purple and white will be purple. P being the purple gene, p being the white, Pp will be purple, just like PP. Only pp will be white.
