What are 'true breeding lines' that are used to study inheritance pattern of traits in plants?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

True breeding lines are those plants that have been generated through repeated self-pollination and have become homozygous for a particular trait.The trait is passed on to progency if bred with another true breeding plant.

What are the uses of studying population?

Assertion : Mendel conducted artificial pollination experiments for his genetic studies using true-breeding pea lines Reason : A true-breeding line shows the stable trait inheritance and expression for several generations

State True or False : (i) The transfer of characters from parents to offspring is known as inheritance. (ii) A true breeding line shows stable trait inheritance and expression for several generations. (ii) In total Mendal selected 7 breeding pea plant verieties.

State True or False. (1) Garden pea has seven characters only. (2) Flowers of Pisum sativum naturally show cross pollination. (3) A true breeding line shows the stable trait inheritance. (4) Mendel applied statisfical methods and mathematical logic for analysing the results.
