Why gregor mendel use pea pod plant?
they grew quickly, are self-pollinating, and come in many varieties they grew quickly, are self-pollinating, and come in many varieties
What are the 3 reasons Gregor Mendel studied the pea plant?
-grows easily in a season -demonstrates contrasting genetic traits -capable of self pollinating
How did Mendel prevent pea flowers from self pollinating and control their cross pollination?
He used a brush to wipe the pollen of of the flower and placed it on another plant causing forced self-pollination.
What was Mendel doing when he transferred pollen from one pea plant to the other?
cross pollinatingCross pollinating
Which insect pollinates a pea plant?
Pea plant is self pollinated ---- Not necessarily true: my bees like peas and beans.
What are 3 reasons the garden pea is a good subject for studying?
-grows easily in a season -demonstrates contrasting genetic traits -capable of self pollinating
Can pollination in pea plants happen in three ways?
Pea flowers are self-pollinating. About two days before the flower even opens, the anthers at the top of the stamen, which are the male part, burst and release the pollen. This sticks onto the stigma and fertilizes the ovary - these are the female parts. In many flowering plants, the stigma will not accept pollen from the same plant and fertilization must occur through other means, such as insect pollination after the flower opens. For gardeners, self-pollination is an advantage as it means more than one type of pea can be grown close together, as cross-pollination will not occur.
What puzzled mendel about cross pollinating tall stmmed pea plants?
no
How did Mendel control pollination in pea plants?
Mendel cut off the stamens of the pea flowers that he wanted to prevent from self-pollinating. He did this so that the plants couldn't produce pollen.
How did Gregor Mendel prevent self pollination in his pea plant experiment?
he cut the plants
What flowers have both male and female parts?
Complete flowers have both female and male flowers.Specifically, the flower has all the parts that are necessary for floral reproduction. The existence of female and male parts on one plant allows for cross-pollination to take place. Even though the plant is self-fertilizing and self-pollinating, it still may be visited by insects, such as pollinator bees.
What does pea plants mean?
More than one pea plant. pea plant- a leguminous plant of the genus Pisum with small white/ purple flowers and long green pods containing edible green/yellow seeds
