Mendel was studying genetics by performing mating crosses in pea plants. He crossed two heterozygous pea plants, which means that each plant had two different alleles at a particular genetic position.
The height of pea plants is controlled by a single gene which ... This means that all the offspring produced will be tall. In this genetic cross, Parent 1 is still tall but is heterozygous with ...
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.
At the very beginning of autumn 2019, an international team, including the French, succeeded in deciphering the pea genome.
Gregor Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity through experiments with pea plants, long before the discovery of DNA and genes. Mendel was an Augustinian monk at St Thomas’s Abbey ...
established the basis of modern genetic science. He experimented on pea plants in an effort to understand how a parent passed physical traits to its offspring. In one experiment, Mendel crossbred ...
