CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -First, he crossed one true-breeding parent to another. The plants used in this initial cross are called the Pstart text, P, end text generation, or parental generation. Mendel collected the seeds from the Pstart text, P, end text generation cross and grew them up.

Detailed explanation-2: -In his first experiment, Mendel cross-pollinated two true-breeding plants of contrasting traits, such as purple and white flowered plants. The true-breeding parent plants are referred to as the P generation (parental generation).

Detailed explanation-3: -In this famous experiment, Mendel purposefully cross-pollinated pea plants based on their different features to make important discoveries on how traits are inherited between generations.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mendel noted that hybridizing true-breeding (P generation) plants gave rise to an F1 generation that showed only one trait of a characteristic. For example, a true-breeding purple-flowering plant crossed with a true-breeding white-flowering plant always gave rise to purple-flowered hybrid plants.

Detailed explanation-5: -In his crosses of true-breeding lines of peas that differed in flower color (purple versus white), Mendel observed that all F1 hybrid offspring had the same color (purple). The phenotype of the F1 hybrids revealed that one color (and the allele for that color) was completely dominant to the other color (and allele).
