What did Mendel observe in the F1 generation of his experiments? Intermediate characteristics between parents. Characteristics like one of the two parents A blend of parental traits. A mix of dominant and recessive traits.

Step 1
Step 1: In Mendel’s F1 generation, only the dominant trait appeared; the recessive trait did not show up, and there was no blending of traits. Show more…

According to Mendel, the traits observed in offspring result from a blending of parental traits. Therefore, a tall pea plant crossed with a short pea plant will produce a pea plant of intermediate height. True False

What was the most significant conclusion that Gregor Mendel drew from his experiments with pea plants? a. Traits are inherited in discrete units, and are not the results of "blending." b. An organism that is homozygous for many recessive traits is at a disadvantage. c. Recessive genes occur more frequently in the F1 than do dominant ones. d. There is considerable genetic variation in garden peas.

Describe the phenotype for a quantitative trait of the F1 progeny of a cross between two pure breeding parents that are homozygous for different alleles. The F1 shows a phenotype that is intermediate to that of the parents. The F1 always shows the maternal phenotype. The F1 always shows the dominant phenotype. The F1 shows a phenotype distinct but not intermediate from that of either parent.
