Mendel's Work: Rediscovery & Recognition — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptMendel published his work on inheritance of characters in 1865 but for several reasons, it remained unrecognised till 1900. Firstly,
Which of the following statements are correct regarding true-breeding lines in the context of Mendelian genetics? S1. A true-breeding line consistently shows stable trait inheritance and expression for several generations upon continuous self-pollination. S2. They are produced by repeatedly crossing individuals with different desirable characters. S3. Mendel used true-breeding lines to ensure that the parental generation exhibited homozygous traits. S4. True-breeding lines are unsuitable for hybridisation experiments because they lack genetic variation. S5. If a true-breeding tall pea plant (TT) is self-pollinated, all its progeny will exhibit the dwarf phenotype.
