In Mendel's monohybrid cross between tall and short pea plants, all offsprings were tall. What does this tell us about the trait? What is the ratio of tall and short plants in the F_(2) generation?

In one of his experiments with pea plants Mendel observed that when a pure tall pea plant is crossed with a pure dwarf pea plant, in the first generation, F_(1) only tall plants appeared. (i) What happens to the traits of the dwarf plants in this case? (ii) When the F_(1) generation plants were self-fertilised, he observed that in the plants of second generation, F_(2) both tall plants and dwarf plants were present. Why it happened? Explain briefly.

(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 pea plants, yellow seeds are dominant to green. If a heterozygous yellow seeded plant is crossed with a green seeded plant, what ratio of yellow and green seeded plants would you expect in F_(1) -generation?
