Answer 1

Answer:

explain mendel monohybridization

For monohybrid cross, Mendel began with a pair of pea plants with two contrasting traits, i.e., one tall and another dwarf. The cross-pollination of tall and dwarf plants resulted in tall plants. All the hybrid plants were tall.

why mendel selected pea plants for his experiment

For Gregor Mendel, pea plants were fundamental in allowing him to understand the means by which traits are inherited between parent and offspring. He chose pea plants because they were easy to grow, could be bred rapidly, and had several observable characteristics, like petal color and pea color.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mendel selected pea plants to carry out his study on the inheritance of characters from parents to offspring.  

He selected a pea plant because of the following features:

• Peas have many visible contrasting characters such as tall/dwarf plants, round/wrinkled seeds, green/yellow pod, purple/white flowers, etc.
• Peas have bisexual flowers and therefore undergo self pollination easily. Thus, pea plants produce offspring with same traits generation after generation.
• In pea plants, cross pollination can be easily achieved by emasculation in which the stamen of the flower is removed without affecting the pistil.
• Pea plants have a short life span and produce many seeds in one generation.
