One of the reasons that Mendel was able to discover the basic principles of genetics using pea plants is because pea plants ______.

One of the reasons that Mendel was able to discover the basic principles of genetics using pea plants is because pea plantsMultiple choice question.produce only a small amount of offspring each generation.develop slowly.exhibit traits in forms that are blended and that differ from either parental trait.self-fertilize and cross-fertilize.

Assertion(A):- Mendel chose a no. of varieties of garden pea as plant for his experiments Reason(R):- Garden pea has well defined characters and was bisexual

A scientist was carrying out some of Mendel's experiments and wanted to understand how seed colour in peas was inherited. The scientist crossed a yellow heterozygous plant with a green homozygous plant.Determine the genotypes of the parent plants.

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
