question 48
in order to establish a parental generation (p), mendel needed plants that were

1. hybrids.
2. from the f2 generation.
3. monohybrid crosses.
4. true - breeding.

Explanation:

Mendel's experiments required true - breeding plants for the parental generation. True - breeding plants produce offspring with the same traits as the parents when self - pollinated. Hybrids (option 1) have mixed traits. The F2 generation (option 2) comes after the parental (P) and F1 generations. Monohybrid crosses (option 3) are a type of cross, not the type of plants for the P generation.

Answer:

1. true - breeding.
