Question

as shown in mendels first experiment, which is a dominant characteristic? a purple flowers b white flowers c any kind of flowers d none of the above

Explanation:

Mendel's first experiment was on pea plants. When he crossed pure - breeding purple - flowered pea plants (\(PP\)) with pure - breeding white - flowered pea plants (\(pp\)), all the \(F_1\) generation plants had purple flowers (\(Pp\)). According to Mendel's law of dominance, the allele that is expressed in the \(F_1\) generation is the dominant allele. Here, the purple flower allele (\(P\)) is dominant over the white flower allele (\(p\)).

Answer:

A. Purple flowers
