What step did Mendel take to be sure that his pea plants did not self-pollinate?

• He used two white plants
• He removed the anthers of one plant.
• He added anthers to both plants
• He used plants that were not true breeding

When a plant self-pollinates and all offspring have the same trait as the parent, it is called

• true-breeding plant.   
• cross-breeding plant
• self-propagating plant.
• hybrid plant.

Offspring of crosses between parents with different traits is called _____________.

• alleles

• hybrid

• inheritance

• genes

different forms of a gene is called ____________

• phenotypes

• traits

What is cross pollination?

• When pollen from a flower fertilizes itself or another flower on the same plant
• When pollen from one flower fertilizes a flower on a different plant
• A plant whose offspring share the same traits as the parent
• A plant whose offspring is genetically different from the parent.
