In what way Mendel used the word ‘Traits’- explain with an example.
Answers
According to Mendel theory, the characters of parents are carried in the form of traits in the offspring.
Each individual has carried a pair of traits in the form of factors.
Also, the same character of the different trait is present in an individual body.
He used an example of a pea plant in which seeds are produced in them have traits of the parent pea.
Hey .........here is your answer
Mendel hypothesized that characters were carried as traits and an organism always carried a pair of factors for a character.
He also hypothesized that distinguishing traits of the same character were present in the population of an organism.
He also assumed that traits shown by the pea plants must be in the seeds that produced them.The seeds must have obtained these traits from the parent plants.
Mendel crossed the pure breed dwarf,pea plants with pure-breed tall pea plants.
In F1 generation no dwarf pea plants were obtained in the first generation of progeny.
That means the first generation showed the traits of only one of the parent plants tallness.
The trait of 'dwarfness' didn't show up in the progeny.
Then the Mendel crossed the F1 generation plants and obtained three tall plants and one dwarf plant.
The dwarf trait of parent plant which had seemingly disappeared in the first generation progeny,reappeared in the second generation.
Mendel named this trait as' RECESSIVE TRAIT'and the expressed trait as tallness as 'dominant'.
