Question

Why mendel took pea plant and short pea plant and produced f1 progeny through cross fertilisation . What did mendal observe in the f1 progeny video?

Answer 1

hope it will help you!

Mendel took pea plant because

(i)pea plants had a number of clear-cut differences which were easy to tell apart

ii) pea plants were self pollinating

iii) many generations of pea plants can be produced in comparatively short time span and their studies much simpler than that of animals

Mendel found in F1 generation that all the plants produced are tall

Answer 2

Mendel observe that

All the plants are impure tall

Means that dominant genes and recessive genes both are present in the progeny,but due to T as dominant it suppressed t , which is recessive

So,all the plants in f1 progeny is impure tall
