Question

in mendels experiments, he carefully created \true breeding\ plants that when allowed to self pollinate would do which of the following?
always have offspring with traits identical to the parent plant
always have offspring with traits different from the parent plant
rarely have offspring with the same traits as the parent plant

Explanation:

True - breeding plants are homozygous for a particular trait. When self - pollinated, they pass on the same alleles for that trait to their offspring. According to Mendelian genetics, homozygous individuals (e.g., \(TT\) or \(tt\) for a single - gene trait) will produce offspring with the same genotype and phenotype as the parent when self - pollinated.

Answer:

ALWAYS have offspring with traits IDENTICAL to the parent plant
