he used plants that were NOT true breeding!
He pollinated the plants himself and in the process he mixed the pollen from pea plants that had different colored to see what the end result would be (I got this all from a textbook I swear)

Mendel used the stamen (male) of one plant and used it to fertilize the carpels of another plant. He did this to see what traits would be shown in the F2 generation, and thus which were dominant to others. actually it is called cross pollinate dumbbutts
Its because they were pollinated by a hot pepper. I have had sweet banana peppers cross pollinated by either a cayanne or a jalipeno and it was so hot, it would make your underwear burst into flames the next day.
Pollinated plants produce seeds, which are necessary for the plant to reproduce. Pollination is the process of transferring pollen from the male part of the flower to the female part, leading to fertilization and seed development.
Yes, in most cases, in cross-pollinated flowers, the stamens are positioned above the pistil to prevent self-pollination. This arrangement encourages pollen from another flower to come in contact with the pistil for fertilization.
Mendel selected pea plant for his experiments on hybridization and got success. This was because-1. Pea plant was self pollinated and the characters observed by him was stable. 2. Pea plant has so many variability in flower color, pod shape, plant length, position of inflorescence, shape of seed etc. 3. The life span of the plant under observation was short hence he could raise many generations to see the pattern of inheritance of characters. 4. He kept numerical record of the data (application of mathematics in genetic studies).
Nectar is produced by flowers to attract insects, bats or birds that will help to carry its pollen to other plants (and bring fresh pollen to it). If a plant is pollinated in the wind, then it doesn't need to spend the energy to make nectar.
Mendel referred to the first two individuals in a genetic cross as the "P generation," which stands for the parental generation. The offspring produced from this generation are called the "F1 generation," or first filial generation. Mendel conducted his experiments with these generations to study the inheritance of traits in pea plants.
Polymorphism is a term used to describe a genetic feature that has multiple forms or alleles within a population. This variation allows individuals within the population to exhibit different phenotypes for that particular trait. Polymorphism is important for evolution as it can provide diversity and adaptability to changing environments.
Water milfoil is a flowering plant despite living in water. Its flowers need to be pollinated in order for it to make seeds. It is wind pollinated so the flowers need to be above the water.
