When pea plants are true-breeding, it means that they consistently produce offspring with the same traits as the parents. This indicates that the plants are homozygous for the specific traits being studied.
Mendel produced true-breeding strains of pea plants through the process of self-fertilization, where he allowed plants to pollinate themselves. This ensured that the offspring inherited identical traits to the parents. Mendel then used these true-breeding strains to conduct his experiments on inheritance.
he used plants that were NOT true breeding!
one form of a character
When Mendel crossed a true-breeding short plant with a true-breeding tall plant, all the offspring were tall. Which term describes the gene for tallness?
A specific trait. There are true-breeding tall pea plants and true-breeding short pea plants, etc... .
True-breeding pea plants always produce offspring with the same traits as the parent plant. This is because they are homozygous for the trait of interest, resulting in consistent expression in the offspring generation.
It means they were produce a sexually and werent cloned.
all offspring in every generation will have the same characteristics of parent plants
When pea plants are true-breeding, it means that they consistently produce offspring with the same traits as the parents. This indicates that the plants are homozygous for the specific traits being studied.
A true breeding pea plant means that when it self-pollinates, it produces offspring with the same trait as the parent plant. This indicates that the plant is homozygous for that particular trait and will consistently pass it on to its offspring.

If two true-breeding pea plants are crossed their offspring will show the dominant trait. The flowers will be purple or light purple.
The answer is all of the produced flowers would be Pp
Mendel produced true-breeding strains of pea plants through the process of self-fertilization, where he allowed plants to pollinate themselves. This ensured that the offspring inherited identical traits to the parents. Mendel then used these true-breeding strains to conduct his experiments on inheritance.
True breeding plants were homozygous for all the characters expressed, hence inheritance of characters was better understood with the help of these plants.
