What do you know about Heredity? Discuss Mendel's monohybrid cross in detail
Answers
Answer:
Gregor Mendel's Peas
Gregor Mendel's PeasFor monohybrid cross, Mendel began with a pair of pea plants with two contrasting traits, i.e., one tall and another dwarf. The cross-pollination of tall and dwarf plants resulted in tall plants. ... He called this as a first hybrid generation (F1) and offspring were called Filial1 or F1 progeny.
Heredity, also called inheritance or biological inheritance, is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring; either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction, the offspring cells or organisms acquire the genetic information of their parents.
For monohybrid cross, Mendel began with a pair of pea plants with two contrasting traits, i.e., one tall and another dwarf. The cross-pollination of tall and dwarf plants resulted in tall plants. All the hybrid plants were tall. He continued his experiment with self-pollination of F1 progeny plants.
