Who is called the father of plant breeding?
Gregor Mendel is often referred to as the father of plant breeding. He is known for his work studying inheritance in pea plants and developing the principles of genetic inheritance. Mendel's discoveries laid the foundation for modern plant breeding techniques.
What happened in Mendel's experiments when a pea plant received two different allele's for the same trait?
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?

Why is it important that Mendel began with purebred plant?
The correct term is "true-breeding". What that means is that if he takes his two pea plants with white flowers and breeds them together, he will always get a pea plant with white flowers. Something that is true-breeding for a particular trait is homozygous, i.e. if the allele for red flowers is R and the allele for white flowers is w, then a true-breeding white flowering plant is ww, and true-breeding red flowering plant is RR. If you cross-breed a true-breeding red flowering with a true-breeding white flowering plant, you would get 1/4 of the offspring as true-breeding red flowers, 1/4 of the off-spring as true-breeding white flowers, and 1/2 the offspring as heterozygous (not true-breeding) red flowers - Rw. If you don't start with true-breeding plants - say you start with Rw and ww (a red and a white plant) you get 1/2 the offspring heterozygous red, and 1/2 true-breeding white. Thus if you didn't know anymore, you would assume that half the time when you breed a red and a white plant, you would get a red plant, and half the time a white, which is incorrect. Furthermore, if you conducted the experiment again, say with RR and Rw, you would get a different result (in this case, all red). By starting with plants that are true-breeding, you ensure that you get the same results that properly show how the traits are passed on.
What is used to improve the phenotype of plants?
Plant breeding techniques such as hybridization, selection, and genetic engineering are used to improve the phenotype of plants. These methods help enhance desirable traits such as yield, disease resistance, and quality, leading to the development of improved plant varieties.

How will variations in organism be useful in plant and animal breeding?
Variations in organisms can certainly be useful in plant and animal breeding. These variations lead to adaptions to the environment.
