Question

Name the plant selected by the mendel for his experiment? Explain about F1 and F2 progeny obtained by mendel when je bread the talland short variation of that plant

Answer 1

Organisms used by Mendel for his experiments was pea plant. Mendel took a pure tall plant (TT) and crossed it with a dwarf (tt) plant. The progeny thus obtained was called F1 progeny (First filial progeny). 

  

Then he self pollinated the F1 progeny to obtain F2 generation. 

In F2 generation he found that 75% plants were tall and 25% were dwarf. 

1TT : 2Tt : 1tt. 

Answer 2

Mendals conducted his expirements on Pisum sativum i.e pea plant.
He explained it by Tall nd dwarf pea plant .
F1 Generation ::
When a cross is made between contrasting pair of a trait only one of the traits appears,the F1 generation.The trait like 'T' are dominant triats while trait like 't' are recessive traits.
F2 Generation ::
The trait which was not present in the offspring f a particular cross in F2 generation again reappears in the F2 generation. The other variety of each trait reappears in F2 generation.
