When Gregor Mendel crossed true-breeding tall plants with true-breeding short plants, all the

offspring were tall because

1. the allele for tall plants is recessive.

2. the allele for short plants is dominant.

3. the allele for tall plants is dominant.

4. they were true-breeding like their parents.

pollinate,1. the offspring will be of medium

In the P generation, a tall plant was crossed with a short plant. Short plants reappeared in the F2 generation

because

1. some of the F2 plants produced gametes that carried the allele for shortness.

2. the allele for shortness is dominant.

3. the allele for shortness and the allele for tallness segregated when the F1 plants produced gametes.

4. they inherited an allele for shortness from one parent and an allele for tallness from the other parent.
