Recessive
This means that the tall pea plant had a double dominant height gene (each gene has 2 parts, one from each "parent"). The short pea plant had a double recessive gene making it short. When the two plants bread, the dominant gene always is the one that shows up, so the plant was tall.
Yes, in pea plants the tall-stem and short-stem alleles are different forms of the same gene that controls stem length. These different forms, or alleles, result in the observable variations in stem height seen in pea plants.
Suppose that, in a pea plant, round seeds are dominant over wrinkled seeds in the "texture" gene. If you were to take two plants heterozygous for the texture gene and cross them together to make eight new plants, how many of those plants should express the smooth phenotype? Use a Punnett's Square to determine the results.
Gregor Mendel is studied because he used to pea plants to discover gene inheritance.
An allele is a gene. It is one form of a gene. For example, height in pea plants is controlled by one gene with two forms. A pea plant can be tall or short. There is a short allele and a tall allele for the gene governing height.
No genes disappear in the F1 generation. Each of the F1 plants was heterozygous, having both dominant and recessive alleles. The recessive phenotype disappears in the F1 generation because all members of that generation carry a dominant allele. In the F2 generation, the recessive phenotype will reappear.
It was discovered by Gregor Mendel with his experiment on pea plants.
Smooth yellow pea plants and wrinkly green peas.

the tall trait was controlled by a dominant factor.
Either TT or Tt, where T stands for dominant gene for tallness and t for recessive gene.
two tall genes or one tall gene and one short gene
cuz hez weerd
The resulting offspring will be 25% tall homozygous, 25% short homozygous, or 50% heterozygous. Depending on the gene, the heterozygous will either have codominance, incomplete dominance, normal dominance depending on which gene is dominantly expressed.
No genes disappear in the F1 generation. Each of the F1 plants was heterozygous, having both a dominant and recessive alleles. The recessive phenotype disappears in the F1 generation because all members of that generation carry a dominant allele. In the F2 generation, the recessive phenotype will reappear.
