- Mendel worked out the rules of heredity by working on garden pea using a number of visible contrasting characters. He conducted several experiments by making a cross with one or two pairs of contrasting characters of pea plant. On the basis of his observations he gave some interpretations which helped to study the mechanism of inheritance.
(i) When Mendel crossed pea plants with pure tall and pure short characteristics to produce F1 progeny, which two observations were made by him in F1 plants?
(ii) Write one difference between dominant and recessive trait.
(iii) (A) In a cross with two pairs of contrasting characters
