pea or vetchling pea, not entirely sure.
no
Cross Pollination
by emasculation and hand pollination
he used plants that were NOT true breeding!

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 obtained his P generation by cross-breeding selected purebred plants that displayed contrasting traits. This allowed him to study how traits are passed down from one generation to the next.
Tt and TT were the genotypes of the true breeding plants that Mendel used in his two factor cross.
Mendel was cross-breeding plants. His work with pea plants supported Darwin. I guess he was a plant geneticist.
Mendel used pea pod plants for his early experiments. See http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/information/biography/klmno/mendel_gregor.html
Whenever Mendel performed a cross with pea plants, he carefully categorized and counted the many offspring. Every time Mendel repeated a particular cross, obtained similar results. For example, whenever Mendel crossed two plants that were hybrid for stem height (Tt), about three fourths of the resulting plants were tall and about one fourth were short. Mendel realized that the principles of probability could be used to explain the results of genetic crosses.
