Activity 8.2 — Mendel's Monohybrid Cross

NCERT Activity 8.2: Perform Mendel's monohybrid cross — tall (TT) × short (tt) pea plants. Watch how traits are inherited through F1 and F2 generations using a Punnett square.

How To Perform

1

Parent Cross

Cross pure tall (TT) × pure short (tt) pea plants.

2

F1 Generation

Observe that all F1 offspring are tall (Tt) — dominance in action!

3

F1 Self-Cross

Allow F1 plants (Tt × Tt) to self-pollinate.

4

Punnett Square

Fill in the Punnett square step by step to see F2 results.

⚠️ Safety Notes

  • This is a simulation of Mendel's pea plant experiments.
  • No live plants or equipment are needed for this activity.
