In a monohybrid cross between tall pea plants (TT) and short pea plants (tt) a scientist obtained only tall pea plants (Tt) in the F_(1) generation. However, on selfing the F_(1) generation pea plants, he obtained both tall and short plants in F_(2) generation. On the basis of above observations with other angiosperms also, can the scientist arrive at a law? If yes, explain the law. If not, give justification for your answer.

A cross between a tall plant (TT) and short pea plant (tt) resulted in progeny that were all tall plants because

(i) Why are two letters (such as TT, Tt, tt) used to denote the character of height? (ii) If a purple pea plant (PP) is crossed with a white coloured pea plant (pp), will we have white flowered pea plant in the F, generation? Why? (iii) Define dominant and recessive traits.

In peas, a pure tall plant (TT) is crossed with a short plant(tt). The ratio of pure tall plants to short plants in F_(2) is

Why, in a test cross, did Mendel cross a tall pea plant with a dwarf pea plant only?

A cross was carricd out between a pure bred tall pea plant and a pure bred dwarf pea plant and F_(1) progeny was obtained. Later, the F_(1) progeny was selfed to obtain F_(2) progeny. Answer the following questions : (i) What is the phenotype of the F, progeny and why? (ii) Give the phenotypic ratio of the F_(2) progeny. (iii) Why is the F_(2) progeny different from the F_(1) progeny?

With the help of a cross done with garden pea plants, trace the work done by Mendel with a tall and a short plant to arrive at a 3:1 ratio in the F_(2) generation.
