Why did Mendel's use pea plant in his experiment?

They produce many offspring


What would be a reason Mendel shouldn't have used the garden pea plant as his experimental organism?

Gregor Mendel was a Silesian scientist known as the father of genetics. His famous experiment should not have used the garden pea plant as his experimental organism because this variety of pea plant naturally varies in its genetic makeup.


What did mendel conclude after his stem height pea plant experiment?

Mendel's experiment showed that with other traits it showed a similar pattern and also that it resulted that this crossed the first generation. The dwarf height traits had seemed to disappear. He then let the first generation plants self pollinate.


What technology did Gregor Mendel use for his pea plant experiments?

Gregor Mendel used traditional manual methods such as cross-pollination and careful record-keeping for his pea plant experiments. He observed the patterns of inheritance by systematically breeding pea plants with specific traits over multiple generations. Mendel's experiments laid the foundation for modern genetics.


Why did Mendel use all tall plants in his f1 experiment?

Mendel used all tall plants in his F1 experiment because that was the offspring from his cross of a pure tall plant and a pure short plant. By crossing two of the tall plants from F1, he proved that the recessive gene (t) was still present in the F1 generation, despite the phenotypes of all of these plants being tall. (The result of the F1 cross gave 3 tall plants and 1 short plant.)
