Mostly because those two gene loci are sufficiently far apart on their chromosome that crossing over will occur often enough so as to make these two appear to assort independently.

Why did Mendel use peas for his studying of heredity?

Pea plants can only be either white or purple. In other words, there was no 'in between' color. This made it easier for Mendel to conclude that some genes are dominant (purple flower) and others are recessive (white flower).


What do Gregor Mendel's peas have to do with the study of the heredity?

Mendel did his experiments by using pea plants with various traits like the color of the flower, the shape of the seeds, the height of the plants etc and studied how those traits behave when crossed. For example, what happens when a short plant with red color flowers was crossed with a tall plant with purple colored flower etc.

What kind of organism did Gregor mendel work with?

A scientist who experimented with garden peas and other plants in his spare time, Mendel discovered the fundamental principles of genetics. Between 1856 and 1863 he grew at least 28,000 pea plants and analyzed characteristics such as height, flower color, and pod shape.


What arethe traits in garden peas studies by gregor Mendel?

Mendel studied seven traits: Height of the plants (stunted or normal); Flower color (purple or white); Pea color (Green or yellow); Pod color (Green or yellow); Position of flowers on stem (axial or terminal); and Pod shape (inflated or constricted).

What is true about George Mendel's peas?

I believe that you mean Gregor Mendel. He used peas to show dominant vs. recessive inheritance by noting their flower color. His observations were unappreciated for many years, but we now know that he was the first to systematically show the relationship between inheritance of traits, and how some traits are dominant over other traits.


What are the seven pairs of contrasting traits that Mendel found in peas and then used in his experiments?

Remove the hard returns from this answer, please. (and this comment)The seven traits that Mendel found in the famous pea experiment are: Seed color (yellow or green)Seed shape (smooth or wrinkled)Pod color (yellow or green)Pod shape (inflated or pinched)Flower color (purple or white)Flower position (axial or terminal)Stem height (tall or short)


When Mendel crossed pea plants that differed in two characteristics such as flower color and plant height what happended?

He tested seed color and shape at the same time.
