Question

if a scientist wanted to follow mendels experiment with a different kind of plant, which type of plant would she examine?
a plant that cannot self - pollinate.
a plant that has only recessive alleles.
a plant that has three alleles for a trait.
a plant that has only two alleles for a trait.

Explanation:

Mendel's experiments focused on traits with two alleles (dominant and recessive). A plant with only two alleles for a trait would be suitable as it follows the basic genetic model he studied. A plant that cannot self - pollinate would complicate the controlled breeding he did. A plant with only recessive alleles would not show the full range of Mendelian inheritance (dominant - recessive interactions). A plant with three alleles for a trait is more complex than the simple two - allele system Mendel worked with.

Answer:

A plant that has only two alleles for a trait.
