Pea plants are tall if they have the genotype TT or Tt, and they are short if
they have genotype tt. A tall plant is mated with a short plant. Which outcome
below would indicate that the tall parent plant was heterozygous? - correct
answer ✔The ratio of tall offspring to short offspring is 1:1.
Mendel studied __________, heritable features that vary among individuals;
each variant is called a __________. - correct answer ✔characters; trait
Besides the fact that pea plants have a short generation time, the key to
Mendel's successful plant-breeding experiments was that pea plants usually
__________. - correct answer ✔self-pollinate
, In a typical pea experiment, two true-breeding plants with distinct traits of a
single character are called the __________, and the offspring are called the
__________, which will always be __________. - correct answer ✔P (or
