Mendel studied seven traits in pea plants. One of the monohybrid crosses he made was between plants with round seeds and plants with wrinkled seeds.

What was a conclusion Mendel drew from the F1 generation of this cross?

Answer:

The dominant factor, or allele, is for round seeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The factors (or alleles) don't disappear when two species are crossed, so "the factors or alleles for round seeds disappear completely from the plants" and "the factors or alleles for wrinkled seeds disappear completely from the plants" are both incorrect. From the drawing, we can see that the F1 generation is a round seed, meaning the dominant factor is for round seeds. Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

Traits are inherited in discrete units, and are not the results of "blending." ... traits can be dominant or recessive, and the recessive traits were obscured by the dominant ones in the F1.
