Does an apricot have to have another one near it to cross pollinate to produce fruit?
Mostly not. Apricots are self-pollinating with a couple of exceptions that I am aware of. A new variety called 'Perfection' needs 'Trevatt' and 'Early Divinity' needs 'Moorpark' for better cropping. You may still get fruit, but not in quantity or quality. The vast majority don't need any company, though.

Why did Gregor Mendel not pollinate the first generation pea plants?
Mendel allowed the offspring of his experimental plants to self-pollinate. That is, he allowed the male and female reproductive cells of the same plant to join and produce a seed. One of the characteristics of pea plants is that it is easy to cross different pea plants but, left to themselves, they self-pollinate with little chance of any accidental pollination between plants.
