You wish to replicate Gregor Mendel's experiments into recessive and dominant genes.After cross-pollinating pea plants with purple and white flowers, you would have the offspring plants

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Self-pollination of the offspring plants will allow for the observation of the genotype and phenotype ratios. This will allow for the identification of dominant and recessive genes in the plants. Pollinating with purple or white-flowered plants would not produce the necessary information to replicate Mendel's experiments. Waiting for the plants to mature to adulthood would be necessary for observing the phenotypes, but not for determining the presence of dominant or recessive genes.
