Offspring that result from crosses between parents with different traits
a) are true-breeding.
b) make up the F2 generation.
c) make up the parental generation.
d) are called hybrids.

Gregor Mendel removed the male parts from the flowers of some plants in order to

b) an allele for tallness from the tall parent and an allele for shortness from the short parent.
c) an allele for shortness from each parent.
d) an allele from only the tall parent.

The principle of dominance states that

b) all alleles are recessive.
c) some alleles are dominant and others are recessive.
d) alleles are neither dominant nor recessive.

When Gregor Mendel crossed true-breeding tall plants with true-breeding short plants, all the offspring were

a) green peas if it also has a dominant allele for yellow peas.
b) both green peas and yellow peas if it also has a dominant allele for yellow peas.
c) green peas if it does not also have a dominant allele for yellow peas.
