Question

Mendel wanted to find out if the pattern of inheritance for one trait affected the pattern of inheritance for another. What experiment did he perform to test this idea? A.He tested only heterozygous plants. B.He tested traits that were not dominant. C.He tested seed color instead of seed shape. D.He tested seed color and shape at the same time.

Answer 1

D. He tested seed color and shape at the same time Gregor Mendel focused his search in the seed shape, flower color, seed coat tint, pod shape, unripe pod color, flower location, and plant height of the pea plants. To explain the results he gathered, he coined the term 'recessive' and 'dominant'.
