This figure illustrates one of Gregor Mendel's breeding experiments with his pea plants. In this particular experiment with pea plant height, the P generation consisted of pure-breeding tall pea plants mated with pure-breeding dwarf pea plants. Fill in the blanks of the following paragraph conceming this experiment. Gregor Mendel discovered several new ideas about inheritance when he performed breeding experiments with pea plants during the 1850 s and \( 1860 \mathrm{~s} \). In one experiment, plants that were pure-breeding for the trait of being tall were crossed with plants that were pure-breeding for the trait of being dwarfi since those plants were "pure-breeding", they had Fill in the blanks of the following paragraph concerning this experiment. Gregor Mendel discovered several new ideas about inheritance when he performed breeding experiments with pea plants during the 1850 s and \( 1860 \mathrm{~s} \). In one experiment, plants that were pure-breeding for the trait of being tall were crossed with plants that were pure-breeding for the trait of being dwarf: since those plants were "pure-breeding", they had genotypes. The gametes of the tall plants carried a tall "factor", or for the tall trait. The gametes of the dwarf plants carried a dwarf factor", or for the dwarf trait. All the Fi plants were tall. idicating that the tall factor was over the dwarf factor. All the \( F_{1} \) lants had a genotype. To get the \( \mathrm{F}_{2} \) generation, Mendel crossed with each other. The ait - dwarf height - returned in the \( F_{2} \) generation. Dwarf plants had a genotype because they had two of the same Considering the experiments described in Question 1 , above... What is the scientific term for the physical appearance of an organism, based on its genetic makeup? What fraction of the \( F_{2} \) offspring had a heterozygous genotype? What fraction of the \( F_{2} \) offspring had a homozygous dominant genotype? What would be the height of pea plants of the \( F_{2} \) offspring if they had a homozygous dominant genotype?
