Name the plant Mendel used for his experiment. What type of progeny was obtained
by Mendel in `F_(1)` and `F_(2)` generations when he crossed the tall and short plants? Write the ratio he obtained in `F_(2) generation plants.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Mendel used pea plant (pisum sativum) for his experiment.

Homogenous progeny was obtained where all four plants are tall in ` F_(1)` generation.

Heterogenous progeny was obtained in `F_(2)` generations where 3 plants are tall and 1 is short.
atio obtained in `F_(2)` generation is 3:1.
