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
allowed plants to self-pollinate for several generations
Gregor Mendel's pea plant experiment allowed him great control, as pea plants can self-pollinate or cross-pollinate, and he was able to pollinate them at will. He studied the characteristics of each plant he would cross-pollinate, perform the pollination and plant the resulting seeds, then study the characteristics of the resulting plants.
Gregor Mendel took two different colored pea plants: one had traits for white plants and the other had traits for a red plant. When Mendel cross bred the two plants, a plant with traits for a pink plant grew. This is how Mendel contributed to the understanding of inherited traits.

Mendel's experiment showed that with other traits it showed a similar pattern and also that it resulted that this crossed the first generation. The dwarf height traits had seemed to disappear. He then let the first generation plants self pollinate.
Gregor Mendel called them factors, or traits.
To study genetics, traits, and the behaviors of those traits.
discontinuous traits in pea plants
The Inheritance of Traits
Mendel studied sweet peas. He studied the inheriance of certain traits in pea plants. His studies of the passing of certain traits formed the basis for our understanding of dominant and recessive genes in plants and animals.
usually tall
he discovered the princaples of inheritance. Plants inherait traits ... and do not blend traits.
