Science Mendelian Genetics Test
Questions And Answers 2026 Update!!!
Fast-growing
Why did Mendel choose the garden pea to Mature quickly
experiment on? Easy to care for
Have many easy-to-distinguish traits
Step one: self pollination for several
generations to make sure they are pure
Step two: Cross pollination of pure
How did Mendel conduct the experiments?
flowers
Step three: F1 purple flowers were
allowed to self-pollinate
What does pure or true-breeding mean? Homozygous
What was Mendel’s first generation of pure,
P generation (parental)
opposite types called?
What were the results of the first cross? All offspring were purple
What were the results of the first cross called? F1 generation (First filial)
Roughly 3 out of every 4 flowers was
When the F1s were crossed, what was the result?
purple and 1 out of every 4 was white.
What are the results of the cross of F1
F2 generation (second filial)
generation flowers called?
Purple flower color is dominant to white
(in pea plants)
What were Mendel’s inferences from these
The white flower color did not
experiments?
completely disappear; it was simply
hidden (masked) in the F1 generation
, The allele that always determines the
Dominant alleles phenotype, as long as at least one copy is
present
