Who is Gregor Mendel and what did he discover about heredity?

Mendel did work with sweet peas. He learned that some traits are dominate and some are recessive. The trait for tall (T) peas are dominate while short (t) is recessive. He also worked with color, green (G) are dominate while yellow (g) are recessive. Besides working with just tall and short or green and yellow, he worked with them together. This last crossing with 4 traits produced 16 different combinations.


Why did Mendel choose peas do his experiments?

Pea plants (leguminosae) have an irregular flower in which the top part of the corolla is much larger than the lower part (Hitchcock and CronquistFlora of the Pacific Northwest p228). If you haven't ever seen a pea flower, it looks much like a snap dragon bloom. This feature keeps the flowers from freely pollinating each other by wind, as they are tightly shut. If protected from pollinating insects, they will only self pollinate, or if the anthers are clipped off they can be very selectively pollinated by a person. This gave Mendel much tighter control over the crossbreeding of the plants.
