Question

True breeding line is ………...

Answer 1

Hint: Gene is the basis of inheritance. Genes carry specific information and will be passed down to the next generation and the newly formed generation acquires the traits from the alleles or genes of the parental generation. This is observed in all life forms and many experiments are done to study more about this.

Complete Answer:
When we apply logic and statistics towards the field of biology, we come across the most important aspect of life, the patterns of inheritance. It was founded by Mendel, before which, even if people knew the same traits passed down to generations, they did not know the process of inheritance.
A gene consists of two alleles. During reproduction, these genes and alleles are given to a newly formed zygote that develops to an individual. Pollination is the process involved in sexual reproduction in plants.
If we take a plant and self pollinate continuously for generations, it will show the same stable traits and expression for several generations. This is called a true breeding line.
“A true breeding line is the one when self pollinated continuously, shows stable inheritance traits and expression for several generations forward”.

Note:
True breeding line was first observed by Mendel and it is useful for studying the inheritance patterns and genetics of the plants by selecting various traits and pollinating for several generations. He conducted several experiments on garden pea plants and found about the traits in heredity.
