What parent plant cross to make deep violet

Gregor Mendel’s careful work with thousands of pea plants in the 1860 proved the blending hypothesis wrong and explained how inheritance really happens.

Mendel then crossed a true-breeding purple flower plant and a true-breeding white flower plant. This is called a monohybrid experiment. A test cross is performed between two plants that breed true for one trait, and the resulting trait for each offspring plant is determined

The first, true-breeding generation, is called the parent, P generation. The first generation of offspring, the first filial generation, is the F1 generation. Mendel found that these plants all had purple flowers. The F1 generation was crossed with itself. The next generation, F2 generation, had a 3:1 ration of purple to white flowers.

If the blending hypothesis was correct, the F1 generation should have all had light purple flowers. Instead, all the F1 plants had dark purple

The F1 plants all have one purple allele  and one white allele . The genotype is the alleles for each gene in the plant. Here the genotype is Pp. A plant with two of the same alleles is homozygous. A plant with two

This inheritance model is explained using a Punnett square.

Explanation:

•there must be variation for the particular trait within a population.

•the variation must be inheritable (that is, it must be capable of being passed on from the parents to their offspring).

•individuals with one version of the trait must produce more offspring than those with a different version of the trait.good
