After tracking physical characteristics of the common pea plant through multiple generations, Gregor Mendel realized that inheritance follows specific patterns. Mendel’s discovery led to what we ...

When looking at the figure, notice that for each F 1 plant, the self-fertilization ... looked as if they had come from two parallel monohybrid crosses; even though two characteristics were ...

The height of pea plants is controlled by a single gene which has two alleles: tall and short. The tall allele is dominant and is shown as T. The small allele is recessive and is shown as t.

Monohybrid Cross: Cross between two pea plants with one pair of contrasting characters is called a monohybrid cross. Mendel took two types of pea plants – a tall plant and a short plant ...
