• Which are best?

Flower ReproductionPollen produced by Anther (male) transferred to Stigma (female)
Leads to seed formation in Ovule

Self-pollination
• Pea plants are able to self-pollinate as well as cross-pollinate

YIELDS
This is known as “true-breeding”

Mendel’s Experiment
• Mendel wondered what would happen if he crossed true-breeding purple and white plants

WHAT HAPPENED!!!???

Mendel’s Second Experiment
• Mendel took some of the new generation of peas and crossed them

How did this happen?
• With a partner nearby…– Discuss what Mendel’s experiments showed– Try and determine the reason Mendel got the
results he did

Dominant vs. Recessive Alleles
• Mendel had discovered the basis of dominant and recessive alleles
• Dominant alleles are ones that are expressed (shown) if they are present
• Recessive alleles are hidden (recede) by dominant if only one copy is present
