Mendel used purebred plants to ensure that the offspring of his experiments would have consistent and predictable traits. By controlling the genetic makeup of the parent plants, he could more easily observe and analyze the patterns of inheritance in their offspring.
Mendel used pea plants in his experiment because they have distinct traits that are easy to observe and manipulate. Pea plants also have a relatively short life cycle which allowed Mendel to conduct multiple generations of controlled breeding experiments. This made it an ideal model organism for studying inheritance patterns.
He needed a control group. *Apex*
Mendel used true breeding plants in the P generation to establish a consistent genetic background for his experiments. True breeding plants produce offspring with the same traits when self-fertilized, allowing Mendel to control the genetic makeup of the parent generation and achieve predictable results in his crosses.
Gregor Mendel used pea plants (Pisum sativum) in his experiments on inheritance, which laid the foundation for the field of genetics. The pea plants were easy to cultivate, had distinct observable traits, and could self-fertilize or cross-pollinate, allowing Mendel to control the breeding process.
