Mandel crossed a homozygus pea plant having yellow round seed with another pea plant bearing green wrinkled seed. He found that in some of the f2 population new combination of parental charecters were observed.

Mandel crossed a homozygus pea plant having yellow round seed with another pea plant bearing green wrinkled seed. He found that in some of the f2 population new combination of parental charecters were observed.How wiill you explain the appearence  of new combination of parental chreexctaristics in f2 offspring ? Support your answer with ounnet square.

Select all of the reasons why pea plants were a good choice for Mendel to use in his heredity experiments.Multiple select question.They produce few offspring.They develop quickly.They grow slowly and consist of only 900 cells in the adult.They have traits that appear in two distinguishable forms.They can be cross-fertilized or self-fertilized.

Sometimes, when Mendel crossed two pea plants with each other, he obtained a phenotypic ratio of 3:1 purple-flowered pea plants to white-flowered pea plants. These results are consistent with which set of parents?Multiple ChoiceHomozygous purple pea plant and homozygous white pea plantHeterozygous purple pea plant and homozygous purple pea plantHeterozygous purple pea plant and homozygous white pea plantHeterozygous purple pea plant and heterozygous purple pea plant

Which one of the following traits of garden pea studied by Mendel was a recessive feature?Green seed colourGreen pod colourRound seed shapeAxial flower position

In 1866, Mendel published three main conclusions to his findings. Which of the following ideas was not proposed by Mendel?Characteristics are determined by hereditary unitsHereditary units are organised in chromosomesHereditary units can be dominant or recessive Hereditary units are passed on unchanged by both parents3The height of Mendel’s pea plants is controlled by a single gene with two alleles: a dominant tall allele (T) and a recessive short allele (t). In a series of F1 crosses involving one homozygous tall plant (TT) and one short plant (tt), 400 F2 offspring were produced. Approximately how many of these offspring would you expect to be short?200Zero4001004In a series of crosses involving pea plants heterozygous for the height gene, 800 offspring are produced. Approximately how many of these offspring would you expect to be tall?8002006004005Mendel’s investigations were ‘reproducible’. What is meant by this term?The pea plants could be reproducedThe investigations could be repeated by different researchers with different resultsMendel reproduced his own investigations with the same results on numerous occasionsThe investigations could be repeated by different researchers with the same results
