What kind of organisms did mandel use in his studies?

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.


What organism did mendel use for this study on genetics?

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.


Why did mendel use pea plants in experiments?

Why is Mendel referred to as the father of genetics?

== ==Gregor Mendel was considered as the father of genetics because he was the first one to understand how DNA worked. Mendel was famous for working with pea plants. He breeded different kinds of pea plants to get certain kinds of colors of peas. Just like artists it took him to die for people to really listen to his theory. Luckily other scientists have proved his theory. Here are two quotes by gregor mendel:My scientific studies have afforded me great gratification; and I am convinced that it will not be long before the whole world acknowledges the results of my work.The value and utility of any experiment are determined by the fitness of the material to the purpose for which it is used, and thus in the case before us it cannot be immaterial what plants are subjected to experiment and in what manner such experiment is conducted.He discovered dominant and recessive genes and was one of the first to actually use Punnett squares.Mend al was considered as the father of genetics because he was the first one to understand how DNA worked. Mendal was famous for working with pea plants. He breeded different kinds of pea plants to get certain kinds of colors of pea.


What does mean for a pea plant to be true breeding?

all offspring in every generation will have the same characteristics of parent plants
