Mendel crossed homozygous plants with green seeds with homozygous plants with yellow seeds and found what all offspring were yellow construct a genetic diagram to show f1 and f2 generation

Mendel examined two distinct flower phenotypes in his pea plants. Flower color and flower position. The violet color (W) is dominant over the white color (w), and the axial position (T) is dominant over terminal (t). Predict the F1 ratios of these phenotypes from a parent heterozygous for both traits and the other parent homozygous recessive for both traits. Show your work. Flower color Flower position violet/white axial/terminal

Why was Mendel’s success dependent on his studying characteristics that exhibit only two easily distinguished phenotypes, such as white versus gray seed coats and round versus wrinkled seeds? Would he have been less successful if he had instead studied traits like seed weight or length of the leaves, which vary much more in their phenotypes? Explain your answer.

When Mendel did crosses of true-breeding purple- and white-floweredpea plants, the white-flowered trait disappeared from the F1 generationbut reappeared in the F2 generation. Use genetic terms to explain whythat happened.
