Section 3-1 Mendel’s Work ANSWER KEY In the above stem height or stem length is being studied. The two alleles are tall stems and short stems. The dominant allele is tall stems because the trait always shows up when the allele is present. The recessive allele is short stems., because it is masked, or covered up, by the allele for tall stems. The F1 offspring have one allele for tall stems and one allele for short stems. They received the allele for tall stems from the tall parent and the allele for short stems from the short parent. Building Vocabulary: g f d h c b
