When pea plants with different traits are bred (crossed), the dominant traits are expressed in the first generation (F1). In this case, tallness and round seeds are dominant traits. Describe the traits of the progeny from crossing a tall plant ...

Dominant traits, like ‘T’ in this example, are expressed even if only one copy of the gene is present. Recessive traits, like ‘t’, are expressed only when both copies of the gene are recessive

Mendel concluded that both the tallness and shortness traits were inherited in the F1 plants, but only the tallness trait was expressed in the F1 generation. The appearance of short plants in the F2 generation indicated that the shortness trait ...

Mendel conducted self-pollination experiments with both the parental plants and the F1 tall plants. When the F1 tall plants were allowed to reproduce through self-pollination, the resulting second-generation, or F2, progeny exhibited a mix of tall and short plants. This ...

In the F1 progeny resulting from the cross of pea plants with different characteristics, Mendel observed that there were no halfway characteristics. For example, if a tall plant and a short plant were crossed, all plants in the F1 generation ...
