Answer:
A. Mendel observed green and yellow pea pods in a 3:1 ratio because the F1 generation was heterozygous.
Explanation:
The two true breeding plants in the parental population were homozygous (that is what true breeding means). Therefore, their cross would lead to all heterozygous offspring (see attached punnet square). Green is the dominant characteristic, so all F1 plants had a green phenotype, but Gg genotype.
The F1 cross would therefore be Gg x Gg. See attached punnet square.
The genotypes in the F2 generation are 1 GG: 2 Gg: 1 gg 1
Therefore, the phenotypic ratio is 3 green pea pods (Gg or GG): 1 yellow (gg)
Answer:
During METAPHASE the chromosomes line up along the equatorial plate.
Answer: The study of plant varieties.
Explanation:
This question relates to the studies that Gregor Mendel, founder of modern genetics, performed at the University of Vienna.
Experimenting on pea plants, Gregor Mendel was able to establish a lot of the rules of heredity that we know today even though his research was not fully appreciated or understood during his own life.
He credited the study of plant varieties to have been most crucial to his final analysis because farmers had been crossbreeding varieties for millennia to bring about better traits in plants.
