Think about Gregor Mendel growing generation upon generation of pea plants, trying to find
out why some plants produced certain traits
while others didn't.
Think about how hard it can be just to keep
plants alive!

If you were like Mendel and trying to design
experiments with pea plants, what would you
need to think about in your planning in order
to get good results?

The diagram shows the results when two parents are crossed. the letters represent alleles for a trait that is controlled by three different genes. which best describes this inheritance pattern? multiple allele because a trait is controlled by three different genes polygenic because the offspring have alleles from both parents multiple allele because the offspring have alleles from both parents polygenic because a trait is controlled by three different genes
