how do mendel's experiment show that traits are inherited independently
Answers
While cross breading the two peas plants with many traits he noticed many variations in the F1 generation i.e. the generation produced after the cross breeding. For eg: when he crossed a tall pea plant with a short pea plant he noticed that most of the generation was tall. This shows that traits were inherited independently.
Answer:
Explanation:
*Mendel performed an experiment in which he took two
different characters like colour of the seeds and shape of the
seeds.
*He selected and crossed pea plants having round green seeds
(RRyy) with wrinkled yellow seeds (rrYY).This formed the
parental generation.
*In F1 generation, he got all the pea plants with Round yellow
seeds(RrYy).
*The F1 progeny were self pollinated.
*In F2 generation some plants had round yellow seeds, some
with round green seeds, some with wrinkled yellow seeds,
some with wrinkled green seeds.
They were found in the ratio of 9:3:3:1
*Thus there were recombination of traits .
*Round yellow and wrinkled green traits are independently
inherited.
