Answer:

gene mutation is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene, such that the sequence differs from what is found in most people. Mutations range in size; they can affect anywhere from a single DNA building block (base pair) to a large segment of a chromosome that includes multiple genes

True-breeding pea plants with smooth peas are crossed with true-breeding pea plants with wrinkled peas. All individuals of the

NeTakaya

Mendel crossed the dominant smooth seeded pea plant (SS) with the recessive wrinkled seeded pea plant (ss). The F 1 generation produced the heterozygous smooth seeded plants with a genotype Ss. When two heterozygous pea plants (Ss) are crossed in the F2 generation represented by Ss x Ss, the gametes formed are S and s. In the second generation, out of the total offspring produced, 3 have the smooth seeded phenotype and 1 has wrinkled seed phenotype. Thus the phenotypic ratio is 3: 1 with one out of four plants being a wrinkled seeded pea plant.

anygoal [31]

Answer:

Factors

Explanation:

Mendel was a scientist who proposed the theory of inheritance based on his work done on pea plants.
According to his theory, the inheritance of a trait was determined by discrete and specific units of heredity which he called as factors.
Further, he explained that for any given trait each individual possesses one factor from each parent so that the individual has 2 factors for each trait and the variants of a given factor were termed as alleles.
The units of inheritance that were called as factors by Mendel are now termed as genes and it is the expression of these genes that encode for the observable trait in an organism and these are inherited from the parents.
