$500 Answer from Gregor Mendel B. inherited through the passing of factors from parents to offspring.

$100 Question from Punnett Squares If you made a Punnett square showing Gregor Mendel’s cross between true-breeding tall plants and true-breeding short plants, the square would show that the offspring had a. the genotype of one of the parents. b. a phenotype that was different from that of both parents. c. a genotype that was different from that of both parents. d. the genotype of both parents.
