Blog #12 - Gregor Mendel and his Pea Plant Experiments

Look up Gregor Mendel and his pea plant experiments. Why does P1 look all alike and F1 looks very different?

P1 look all alike because there are two different type of traits which are dominant and recessive. The dominant traits are the yellow color and the round shape since they are green color and has the wrinkly shape. It is also because of genes which he used to called it "units" and "factor." F1 looks very different because the planted seeds from the all-yellow, all-round crop, creates from the parents generation and creates to a grown plant. Most of the second generation of peas were yellow and smooth, but some were green or wrinkly.
