Question

How do mendels experiments show that (a) traits may be dominant or recessive ? (b) inheritance of two traits is independent of each other ?

Answer 1

(a) Mendel demonstrated that traits can be either dominant or recessive through his monohybrid cross. He crossed true-breeding tall (TT) and dwarf (tt) pea plants. ... They appeared tall only because the tall trait was dominant over the dwarf trait. This shows that traits may be dominant or recessive.
