Question

When Gregor Mendel crossed a tall plant with a short plant, the F1 plants inherited.

Answer 1

Answer:

a. one allele from each parent

Explanation:

According to the law of inheritance given by Mendel when two parents are crossed then each of them contributes one allele each for a given gene to make up the offspring.

Therefore, when a tall plant was crossed with a short plant then the cross was as follows:

TT X tt ----> Tt

Here the offspring had one allele T and other allele t , thus it got one allele from each of its parent.

Answer 2

Answer:

a. one allele from each parent

Explanation:

An allele in biological sciences is one of the possible forms of a gene that it can inherit. Most genes have two alleles, a dominant allele and a recessive allele. When Gregor Mendel crossed a tall plant with a short plant, the F1 plants inherited an allele for tallness from the tall parent and an allele for shortness from the short parent.
