According to Mendel's experiment, the tall plants in `F_(1)` generation were exactly the same as the tall plants of the parent generation ? Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, because plants in `F_(1)` generation were genetically Tt (heterozygous) whereas plants of parent generation were TT (Homozygous dominant).

    In a monohybrid cross of plants with red and white flowered plants, Mendel got only red flowered plants. On self-pollinating these F_1 plants got both red and white flowered plants in 3:1 ratio.
