Mendel's pea plants were a good choice for studying heredity, because:
a) They have lots of easily observable traits that vary in an either-or manner.
b) Their mating is uncontrollable.
c) There are separate male and female plants.
d) The plants are incapable of cross-pollination.
Two pea plants that are true-breeding for recessive white flowers are mated and their offspring analyzed. Which of the following statements about this situation is true?
Group of answer choices
A)The offspring represent the P generation.
B)The gametes produced by the offspring will carry only one allele for this gene.
C)Both parents are referred to as heterozygotes.
D)Half of the offspring will be true-breeding for white flowers.
The flower color in pea plant is determined by a specific gene. In a diploid species like the pea plant there can be two alternative form of a gene called.
a. loci
b.phenotypes
c.alleles
d.homologues
