Question
Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk who is famous for his experiments with pea plants. He discovered that certain traits, such as the shape of the peas, were passed down from parent plants to their offspring. He observed that when he bred a pea plant with wrinkled peas and a pea plant with smooth peas, the offspring had a mix of wrinkled and smooth peas, but the trait for smooth peas was dominant. He crossed purebred plants with wrinkled peas with plants that were purebred for smooth peas to produce generation 1. Then, he crossed two of the generation 1 offspring to produce generation 2. The table shows the results of these crosses. Not all answer choices will be used.
