As a result of his experiments with dihybrid crosses, Mendel observed that the presence of one trait had no affect on the presence of another trait. Gregor Mendel was a scientist who became known as the founder of modern genetic science.

In the design of Mendel's experiment why is it important that all members of the series developed in each successive generation should be without exception subject to observation?

The possibility of accidental impregnation by foreign pollen, possible sterility of hybrid crosses are two factors that lead Mendel to insist on close scrutiny. He insisted that all members of the series developed in each successive generation should be, without exception, subjected to observation.


What generation showed hidden traits in all plants of Mendel's experiments?

The F2 generation showed hidden traits in all plants of Mendel's experiments. This generation resulted from crossing the hybrid F1 generation plants, allowing recessive traits to resurface and become visible in the offspring.


What was the ratio of tall to short plants in the F2 generation mendel experiments?

3.1


How are the principles of probability used to predict the outcomes of genetic crosses?

Whenever Mendel performed a cross with pea plants, he carefully categorized and counted the many offspring. Every time Mendel repeated a particular cross, obtained similar results. For example, whenever Mendel crossed two plants that were hybrid for stem height (Tt), about three fourths of the resulting plants were tall and about one fourth were short. Mendel realized that the principles of probability could be used to explain the results of genetic crosses.


How did Mendel produce hybrid pea plants?

losers


What do biologists call the offspring of crosses between parents with different traits?

Are called hybrids


What did mendel predict was the probability of producing a tal plant from a genetic cross of two hybrid tall piants?

Mendel predicted a 3:1 ratio for producing a tall plant from a genetic cross of two hybrid tall plants. This means that there is a 75% probability of producing a tall plant and a 25% probability of producing a short plant.


Which term did Mendel use when referring to a trait with two unlike all?

hybrid


How do you explain Mendel's mono hybrid cross 1?

Mendel crossed a pure-breeding round-seeded variety with a pure-breeding wrinkled-seeded one. All the peas produced in the second or hybrid generation were round.


What term did Mendel use to describe heterozygous pea plants?

The terms Mendel used to describe the heterozygous pea plant was the hybrid term....i hope that helped


What factors contribute to the success of Mendels experiment?

the reason they are so reliable is because he used peas as his plant of interest. an peas have only 2 different things they can be. short or tall. so it was easy to conclude all of the different outcomes of the offspring of the pea plants because of the of his drawn punnett square. which shows that if a tall dominant pea plant goes with a short it will be tall. and if it goes with a tall it will be tall. but if short goes with short then it will be short. so only 25% vof the time a pea plant will be short


Mendel referred to the characteristic that was expressed in the hybrid F1 or first filial generation as?

Mendel referred to the characteristic expressed in the hybrid F1 generation as the dominant trait. This trait masks the expression of the recessive allele in the heterozygous individual.
