Question

Mendel took tall pea plants and short pea plants and produced F1

progeny through

cross-fertilisation. What did Mendel observe in the F1

progeny ?

Answer 1

Mendel was the father of genetics ,his experimental research works are the building base of today's modern genetical engineering.


According to the question;

If he cross fertilize between a tall (TT) and a small (tt) pea plant,the results in the f1 progeny will be:

All the plants in the f1 progeny will be tall (Tt) due to the dominant characteristics of the tall gene (T).

Answer 2

Mendel observed that when peas with more than 1 trait were crossed ,the progeny did not always match the parents only the dominant trait appeared in the F1 progeny but all combinations were seen in the self pollinated F2 progeny ..
