To study genetics, traits, and the behaviors of those traits.
Sweet Pea having seven contrasting traits.
discontinuous traits in pea plants
Mendel studied pea plants. He chose strains that bred true for traits like pea color, flower color, and height. By crossing plants that bred true for these traits he was able to determine that offspring were not a "blend" of their parents and that traits were passed on by what we now know as genes in patterns that could be predicted from one generation to the next.
Fill in the blanks to complete the passage. The Austrian monk and scientist Gregor studied the traits of pea plants. He could see that pea plant traits were passed from parents to offspring in a process called .
Garden pea-plants are good for genetic experiments because the garden pea has many traits that have two clearly different forms that are easy to tell apart. :)
Yes, the study of genetics started with pea plants and flowers which began the hypothesis of dominant and recessive traits.
The Inheritance of Traits
His observations of pea plants while gardening in his monastery. He observed that some pea traits were recessive and therefore less likely to show up through pea generations and other traits were dominant and more likely to show up through generations.
