what type of progeny was obtained by Mendel in experiment F1 and F2 generation
Answers
Explanation:
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). ... In F2 generation he found that 75% plants were tall and 25% were dwarf.
The type of progenies obtained by Mendel in F1 and F2 generation of the experiment conducted by him are mentioned below :
- The progenies of F1 generation always had trait which resembled to one of their parent and there was no trait of the other parent.
- In the F2 generation all the progenies resembled both the parental traits in the ratio of 3:1
- According to his experiment he concluded that all the phenotypes of F2 generation resulted in the ratio 9:3:3:1
- He got the the same result in both the experiments ,i.e, dihybrid cross and monohybrid cross.
