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.
PP X ww or Pw X ww Because all Purple flower plants are dominant and express the color purple. This can be seen in a homozygous cross, or a heterozygous cross, ( shown above ) White plants, to breed true, must be in homozygous condition.
Gregor Mendel used controlled breeding experiments with pea plants to study inheritance. He crossed different varieties that displayed contrasting traits and carefully analyzed the patterns of inheritance in the offspring generations. Through these controlled experiments, he was able to establish the principles of heredity.
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.
If Gregor Mendel did not use plants that were not true breeding, he would not have discovered heredity because there would not be any evidence that traits passed on to the next generation and that the offspring retained the traits of the parents.

Gregor Mendel:D
Gregor Mendel's theories are the basis for modern breeding techniques of plants and animals. Mendel was a German friar who experimented with breeding pea plants.
Gregor Mendel used controlled breeding experiments with pea plants to study inheritance. He crossed different varieties that displayed contrasting traits and carefully analyzed the patterns of inheritance in the offspring generations. Through these controlled experiments, he was able to establish the principles of heredity.
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.
Since the dominant allele in pea plant breeding is the tall allele, all of the offspring of this cross were tall. However, when he crossed two tall plants from the first filial generation, 75% of the second filial generation were tall, and 25% of the second filial generation were short, thus hinting at the mechanism of what we today recognize as genetic inheritance.
If Gregor Mendel did not use plants that were not true breeding, he would not have discovered heredity because there would not be any evidence that traits passed on to the next generation and that the offspring retained the traits of the parents.
one tall allele and one short allele
Gregor Mendel took two true-breeding plants with contrasting traits and cross-pollinated them, producing offspring with genes for both characteristics. He used selective breeding.
Gregor Mendel referred to the generation resulting from crossbreeding the parental generation as the "first filial generation," symbolized as F1.
There is no evidence that Gregor Mendel created vicious bees. In fact he was unsuccessful at breeding them alltogether. This myth seems to have come about around 2001 in online publications and been copied without reference in unscrupulous sources.
