Q. 6. In order to obtain the -generation, Mendel pollinated a pure-breeding tall plant with a pure-breeding dwarf plant. But for getting the -generation,, he simply self-pollinated the tall plants. Why?
Characters segregate during gamete formation. Pure breeding parents give rise to with heterozygous conditions. Only self-pollination of heterozygotes can result in all possible recombinations of characters in progeny as mating is random.
