Question

List two visible traits of garden pea that mendel consideres in his experiment .How do mwndelexperiment show that traits may be dominant or recessive

Answer 1

Genes located on different chromosomes will be inherited independently of each other. Mendel observed that, when peas with more than one trait were crossed, the progeny did not always match the parents. ... For example, he cross-bred pea plants with round, yellow seeds and plants with wrinkled, green seeds.

Answer 2

Mendel Experiment

Explanation:

• Mendel selected true breeding tall (TT) and dwarf (tt) pea plants.When a tall pea plant is crossed with a short (dwarf) pea plant, all the F1 hybrids are tall. (i.e., in this case, the gene causing tallness is dominant while the gene causing dwarfness is recessive.).The trait expressing itself in the hybrid is the dominant one.  
• Mendel’s first law of inheritance states that when a pair of contrasting factors is brought in a hybrid, one factor inhibits the appearance of the other. The one which inhibits is the dominant one and which is inhibited is recessive.
