Why did Mendel study pea plants?
Mendel studied pea plants because they reproduced sexually and had traits that were easily observable.
What is the definition for "hypothesis"?
The law of explains how alleles separate during gamete formation.

Before testing the pea plants, Mendel formed a five-part hypothesis. What did Mendel include in his hypothesis? Check all that apply.
A plant heterozygous for yellow pod color (Yy) is crossed with a plant homozygous for green pod color (yy). Which trait is dominant?
A plant TT for tall height is crossed with a plant tt for short height. The offspring have the genotype Tt. What is the phenotype of the plant? tall heightshort heightTttt
Mendel studied pea plants for particular traits. When observing the results of his experiments, he created two laws of inheritance. How is a scientific law formed?
A scientific law is formed when repeated observations and experiments consistently reveal a pattern in nature.

If a plant with purple petals (PP) is crossed with a plant with white petals (pp), what is the phenotype for the F1 generation?
The law of states that traits are passed from parents to offspring independently of one another.
independent assortment
Explain how the alleles were passed from parents to offspring.
Each parent passed one allele to the offspring. The Gg parent passed on G, and the gg parent passed on g, so the offspring had Gg and green pods.
