Question

Which observation led Mendel to the idea that parents passed only part of their genes to offspring?

○ A tall plant could transfer alleles for a short plant to the offspring.

○ A short plant always transferred alleles for a tall plant to the offspring.

○A short plant could transfer alleles for a tall plant to the offspring.

○ A tall plant always transferred the alleles for a short plant to the offspring.​

Answer 1

The first one “a tall plant could transfer alleles for a short plant to the offspring” because when you do the punnet squares if two tall plants with the alleles Aa (A being the tall gene and a being the short gene) they could produce a short plant with the alleles aa
