Mendel's Experiment and his laws 2
Mendel performed three experiments- 1. Monohybrid cross 2. Dihybrid cross 3. Trihybrid cross We will study two of them first in this article. 1. Monohybrid cross It is a cross between two pure individuals(Parents) which are homozygous in which inheritance pattern of only one pair of contrasting characters is studied. Procedure of experiment- Step 1-Selection of parents and obtaining pure lines He selected pure tall pea plant as female plant(TT) and pure dwarf pea plant as a male parent(tt). He confirmed that the plants are true breeding by selfing them for three generations. Step 2-Artificial cross of the selected plants to raise F1 generation He then performed artificial cross, collected seeds, sowed them and waited for the results. He had expected that either the offspring's would be of intermediate height or 50% of them will be tall and 50% of them will be dwarf. But amazingly all were tall and dwarfness disappeared. Step 3-Selfing of F1 hybrids to raise...
