Q How do Mendel's experiments show that traits may be dominant or recessive?
Ans :
- Mendel conducted experiments on garden pea plants, selecting several visible contrasting characters. He Selected and crossed the pure bred tall pea plants having the genotype TT with a pure - bred dwarf pea plant having the genotype tt. F₁ generation consists of only tall plants having the genotype Tt. The expressed allele T for the tallness is dominant over the unexpressed allele t for dwarfness.
- Hence, trait of tallness is dominant character, while the trait of dwarfness is recessive character. Thus, Mendel's experiments show that traits may be dominant or recessive.
