Mendel Experiment

What did Gregor Mendel use to discover the principles that rule heredity?

• Pea Plant

• Pigeons

• Pear trees

• Photosynthesis

Mendel looked at the flower color for pea plants. Which was true about the flower color?

• There were three versions: Purple, White and light Purple

• There were only two versions: Yellow and Green

• There were only two versions: Purple and White

• None of the above

What did Mendel call the two versions of traits exhibited by the pea plants ?

• Genes

• Traits

• Alleles

• None of the above

From the notes, true breeding plant are represented by:

• 1 , 1

• 1 , 2

• 1, 1 AND 2, 2

• 1, 1 AND 1, 2

What is the allele combination of the F1 generation (cross of the purple pure breeding plant and the white pure breeding plant).

• 1, 1

• 1, 2

• 2, 2

When the F1 generation (1,2) self pollinated, what were the percentages of allele/ version combinations possible?

• 100% 1, 1

• 50% 1, 1 50 % 1, 2

• 25% 1, 1 50% 1, 2 25% 2, 2
