the results Mendel obtained during his experiments. It showed that if you cross two plants that were true-breeding for different colors (purple and white), the offspring or first generation (F1) would be ______________ instead of true-breeds, and all were _____________ in color. Interestingly, when he crossed two of these F1 plants, their offspring did not all come out _____________. Instead he obtain a ratio of ______ purple-flowered plant for every ______ white-flowered plant. He concluded that the “heritable factor” for the ____________ trait (white flowers) was not destroyed in the F1 generation. Instead it had been _______________ by the “heritable factor” of the ________________ trait (purple flowers).
