One of the scientists working at the same time as Gregor Mendel was his sister Molly Mendel who never became famous. Molly was working on the Stink Bug and its smell. It turns out that some stink bugs smell really sweet like honey, and others smell incredibly putrid (bad). Mendel isolated the pure breeding lines of sweet and putrid smell separately. Then when she bred the F0 generation stink bugs together they were always smelly. She would go on to do thousands of experiments on the stink bug in relative obscurity. There are several questions that we can ask about her research results.
2. What is the phenotype of the F1 generation?
