Answer 2

Answer:

Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

Explanation:

• Gregor Mendel was successful in explaining the laws of hybridity using pea plants that were pure.
• He was successful because he considered each single trait individually.
• He made use of algebra to prove patterns of inheritance.
• The parent plant had visible contrasting characters.
• Mendel took two pea plants with contrasting characteristics (short and tall) and crossed them.
• He observed that the first-generation offspring were tall, which he called the F1 progeny.
• He then crossed the F1 progeny and obtained both tall and short plants in the ratio of 3:1.
• He conducted similar experiments with yellow-green pea plants and round-wrinkled pea plants.
• In all the cases, he found similar results.
• From all these experiments and observations, he formulated the Laws of Segregation and Dominance.
