explain mendel's experiment on inheritance of traits with diagram considering only one visible contrasting character
Answers
Explanation:
Mendel cross-pollinated one variety of purebred plant with another, these crosses would yield offspring that looked like either one of the parent plants, not a blend of the two. For example, when Mendel cross-fertilized plants with wrinkled seeds to those with smooth seeds, he did not get progeny with semi-wrinkly seeds. Instead, the progeny from this cross had only smooth seeds. In general, if the progeny of crosses between purebred plants looked like only one of the parents with regard to a specific trait, Mendel called the expressed parental trait the dominant trait. From this simple observation, Mendel proposed his first principle, the principle of uniformity; this principle states that all the progeny of a cross like this (where the parents differ by only one trait) will appear identical. Exceptions to the principle of uniformity include the phenomena of penetrance, expressivity, and sex-linkage, which were discovered after Mendel's time.
Answer:
Mendel selected garden pea for his breeding experiment because of its contrasting characters such as height of the plant, yellow or green seed, round or wrinkled seed shape. Mendel hybridized or cross-pollinated plants with alternate forms of a trait. He crossed tall and short plant to obtained F1 progeny. In F1 generation all plants were tall. Then he allowed the hybrid plants of F1 generation to self-pollinated. In F2 generation all the progeny were tall as well as short plants. This results that the three quarter plants were tall and one quarter was short..
