PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Mendel also experimented to see what would happen if plants with 2 or more pure-bred traits were cross-bred. He found that each trait was inherited independently of the other and produced its own 3:1 ratio. This is the principle of independent assortment. Find out more about Mendel’s principles of inheritance.

Detailed explanation-2: -P generation organisms are the parental generation. This was the generation that Gregor Mendel used to start his experiments with inheritance. This P generation was a true breeding one, in that they only had a pure genotype for whatever phenotype Mendel was looking at.
