Mendelian Genetics

AP Biology· difficulty 2/5

Mendel's "true-breeding" plants are

  • A

    Sterile (cannot produce viable gametes through self-pollination)

  • B

    Heterozygous (carry two different alleles at the relevant gene locus)

  • C

    Triploid (possess three complete sets of chromosomes per somatic cell)

  • D

    Homozygous (always produce the same phenotype when self-pollinated)

Explanation

True-breeding lines have homozygous genotypes; Mendel used these pure lines as parents in his crosses.
