Q

mitosis and meiosis differences (3)

A

mitosis is a shorter process, makes diploid somatic cells, that are identical copies of DNA while meiosis is longer, makes haploid gametes, and crossing over results in new DNA combinations

Q

outline how Mendel produced plants that had genes for both contrasting traits of a characteristic

A

First, he produced true breeding plants. He crossed pure plants for 2 contrasting traits. Then, the F1 generation began self-pollinating and reproducing.

Q

how did mendel’s F1 generation plants differ from his F2 generation plants?

A

F1 was a result of cross-pollination and F2 was a result of self-pollination.
