genotype

_____________________used plants to study the way traits are passed from parents to offspring.

Mendel

If two first-generation self-pollinating plants are crossed, Pp and Pp, what is the probability that offspring plants will show the dominant trait? Create Punnett Square

anthers

The trait that always appears in the first-generation offspring is the ___________.

Dominate trait

In _____________________ the anthers of one plant are removed so that the plant cannot self-pollinate.

Cross-pollination
