he used plants that were NOT true breeding!
Most plants do not self pollinate.
Plants that cross pollinate are called hybrids.
Peas
Yes, vascular plants pollinate. In vascular plants , reproduction is assisted by animals such as bees, butterflies, moths which go from plant to plant and help with pollination.
Mendel allowed the first generation plants to self pollinate.

Bees, birds, and many other animals can pollinate plants

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.
If one bee can pollinate 220 plants in 1 hour estimate how many plants 9 bees can pollinate in the same amount of time?
bee's are helpful because they pollinate plants.
Spring
pollinate plants
for my opinion, Mendel use plants in his experiments so that we can see clearly the characteristics and differences as a good example for cross pollination
