Homozygous for tall is TT
Homozygous for short is tt
All F1 offspring from this cross are Tt which makes them genotypically heterozygous and phenotypically tall.
All the offspring were tall plants. This is because the tall trait is dominant over the short trait in Mendel's experiments on pea plants.
visual inspection of phenotypic traits.
When Gregor Mendel crossed true-breeding tall plants with true-breeding short plants, all the offspring were tall because the tall trait is dominant over the short trait. In this cross, the tall plants contributed a dominant allele, while the short plants contributed a recessive allele. Since the presence of just one dominant allele is sufficient to express the tall phenotype, all the F1 offspring exhibited the tall trait. This foundational experiment established key principles of inheritance.
When Mendel crossed short tt pea plants (homozygous recessive) with short pea plants that were heterozygous for height (Tt), the offspring would display a phenotypic ratio of 1 short (tt) to 1 tall (Tt). This is because the short plants (tt) can only contribute recessive alleles, while the heterozygous plants (Tt) can contribute either a dominant (T) or a recessive (t) allele. Therefore, half of the offspring would be tall and half would be short.
If both parent plants are white-flowered, then all of the 1000 offspring would be expected to have white flowers. This is because the white flower trait is a result of a homozygous genotype, and both parents would pass on the white flower allele to their offspring.
The offspring of two true-breeding plants is also true-breeding, meaning they will consistently display the same traits as the parents. This is because true-breeding plants are homozygous for a particular trait, so when they are crossed, their offspring will also be homozygous for that trait.
All the offspring were tall plants. This is because the tall trait is dominant over the short trait in Mendel's experiments on pea plants.
because it helped Mendel discover which plants would be crossed to produce offspring.

first-generation plants
If two true-breeding pea plants are crossed their offspring will show the dominant trait. The flowers will be purple or light purple.

3:1 ratio Two pea plants, both heterozygous for flower color, are crossed. The offspring will show the dominant purple coloration in a 3:1 ratio
If both parent plants are white-flowered, then all of the 1000 offspring would be expected to have white flowers. This is because the white flower trait is a result of a homozygous genotype, and both parents would pass on the white flower allele to their offspring.
Plants are offspring like their parents because of their parents DNA this happens because of fertilization
purple is dominant over white in Mendel's pea plant experiment, meaning that the offspring inherited at least one purple allele from the purple parent. This resulted in all the offspring showing the purple trait.
