As found on the Wikipedia page on Gregor Mendel:
"This study [Mendel's pea plant experiments where he crossbred two pea plants, one purple and one white and from there it demonstrated dominant and recessive alleles] showed that one in four pea plants had purebred recessive alleles [usually white], two out of four were hybrid and one out of four were purebred dominant. His experiments led him to make two generalizations, the Law of Segregation and the Law of Independent Assortment, which later became known as Mendel's Laws of Inheritance."
Breeding two of the pure, purple plants would yield only pure purple plants, however the hybrid ones (which would look like the pure ones) would yield three purple looking ones (one was pure, the others had recessive alleles) and the last one would be white (all recessive alleles) thus Mendel was eventually able to see that recessive alleles didn't just crop up randomly, they were traits that were suppressed and passed on invisibly to the next generation of plants. (sorry for the length >.< I hope this was helpful)
Gregor Mendels goal was to figure genetics
To determine if one trait could affect the inheritance of another trait
to find out if traits could effect the inheritance of other traits
He had studied mathematics and probability.
Yes. Gregor Mendels 3 Principals of Inheritance show the transmission of genetic traits.
Mendel made three key decisions in designing his experiments. First, he selected purebred pea plants that were true breeding for specific traits. Second, he focused on only one trait at a time, such as flower color or seed shape. Lastly, he used statistical analysis to determine ratios and patterns in the inheritance of traits.
Mendel called the more common traits "dominant" and the less common ones "recessive."-Sami. (:
Human height is governed by polygenic inheritance, which means that more than one gene determines a person's height.
True breeding plants were homozygous for all the characters expressed, hence inheritance of characters was better understood with the help of these plants.
Doron Mendels was born in 1944.

Yes, Gregor Mendel experimented with pea pods. He formulated Mendels law of inheritance around 1856. He came up with three main laws: 1. Law of Dominance 2. Law of segregation 3. Law of independent assortment
