McClintock used self-fertilized kernels in her experiments to ensure that any observed variations were due to genetic factors rather than external influences. By controlling the mating process, she could study the inheritance patterns of specific traits without interference from cross-pollination. This allowed her to make more accurate conclusions about the role of genes in controlling genetic traits.
