Mendel studied pea plants dihybrid for seed shape (round versus wrinkled) and seed color (yellow versus green). Recall that the round
For Plant 1, the parent phenotype is indicated by the white label, describing a green and round pea. The parent genotype, shown on the blue label, is "Rryy." This specific genotype leads to the observ...
The partial Punnett square shows a cross between two pea plants with genotypes YY and Yy. The allele for yellow seeds (Y) is dominant,
In the partial Punnett square provided, we observe a genetic cross between two pea plants with the genotypes YY and Yy. It's important to note that the allele for yellow seeds (Y) is dominant over the...
What did Mendel’s cross-pollination of pea plants prove?
What did Mendel's cross-pollination of pea plants demonstrate? His experiments revealed that hereditary factors, now understood as genes, are responsible for traits and are passed down to offspring in...
