when they breed within their own gene pool.
Let’s explain this via 2 basic punnet squares
where SS = Pea plant#1 for the trait of ‘solid
seed shells’ and ss = pea plant#2 for the trait
of ‘Wrinkled seed shells’.
That was Pea plant#1 results. All the
offspring will be SS.
That was Pea plant#2 results. All the
offspring will be ss.
The First Hybrid Cross:
Mendel made his first hybrid cross between
the 2 strains. The results where all solid
seeds! Here is the chart below.
