Exploring Monohybrid Genetic Crosses

What was the main difference between the two plants in Mendel's experiment?

• Height

• Color

• Leaf shape

• Seed texture

What does a Punnett square help to illustrate?

• The environmental conditions

• The possible combinations of offspring

• The types of gametes produced

• The growth rate of plants

Why are all the offspring in the F1 generation purple?

• Because white is a recessive trait

• Because purple is a recessive trait

• Because white is a dominant trait

• Because purple is a dominant trait

What is the phenotypic ratio of purple to white plants in the F2 generation?

• 3:1

• 4:1

• 1:1

• 2:1

What does the F2 generation reveal about the traits?

• Both dominant and recessive traits are present

• All traits are recessive

• All traits are dominant

• Only new traits appear
