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.
Organisms that produce offspring identical to themselves if allowed to self pollinate?
These organisms are called true-breeding or homozygous. Self-pollination allows them to produce offspring with identical genetic material to themselves, creating a uniform population. This process is common in plants that have both male and female reproductive organs on the same flower.
What is the significance of Plant Breeding?
Plant breeding is essential for improving crop productivity, developing new varieties with desired traits such as disease resistance and tolerance to harsh conditions, and ensuring food security for a growing population. It also helps in preserving genetic diversity and adapting crops to changing environmental conditions caused by climate change. Additionally, plant breeding contributes to sustainable agriculture by reducing the need for pesticides and fertilizers.
When a plant self pollinates and all offspring have the same trait as the parent it is called?
The parent plant is called a true breeding plant.
When a plant self pollinate and all offspring have the same trait as the parent it is called?
The parent plant is called a true breeding plant.
What is another name for a father cow?
Another name for the "father cow" (more properly called a bull) that is used for breeding is called the sire.
What are produced by cross-breeding tigers and lions?

How do you get plant dragon by breeding?

Relationship between crop productivity and plant breeding?
What is the relationship between productivity and plant breeding
Plant always produces offspring with the same trait as the parent?
The parent plant is homozygous dominant for the trait(s) observed. This can be called a 'true-breeding' plant as well.

Does carnell breeding have a different dad?
Yes, Carnell Breeding has a different father than his other siblings in the group B5. His father is Theodore Arthur Breeding, who was not involved in the music industry like his other siblings’ father, Joseph Lloyd Breeding.
