Why did Mendel use cross pollination in his experiments?

• to speed up self pollination

• to control which plants pollinated other plants

• to make sure dominant factors were always produced

• to make sure recessive factors were always produced

• There weren't any bees

What did Mendel conclude about inherited traits?

• One factor(gene) controls each inherited trait

• Two factors(genes) control each inherited trait

• Multiple factors(genes) control each inherited trait

• No factors(genes) control each inherited trait

• Mendel made no conclusions

A true breeding purple flower plant crossed with a true breeding white flower plant will produce-

• all white flower plants

• all purple flower plants

• mostly purple flower plants

• no purple flower plants

• pink flower plants
