Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In Mendel's experiments, which trait was observed to be dominant in pea plants? (2018)
  • Step 1: Understand that Mendel conducted experiments with pea plants to study inheritance.
  • Step 2: Identify the traits he observed, such as seed color, flower color, and plant height.
  • Step 3: Focus on the seed color trait, which had two variations: yellow and green.
  • Step 4: Note that when Mendel crossed plants with yellow seeds and plants with green seeds, the offspring had yellow seeds.
  • Step 5: Conclude that yellow seed color is the dominant trait because it appeared in the offspring.
