Mendel conducted a series of hybridization experiments by crossing pea plants with different traits, specifically focusing on seed color (yellow vs. green) and seed shape (round vs. wrinkled). He created dihybrid crosses, where he combined plants with one trait from each category (e.g., yellow round seeds with green wrinkled seeds) to observe the inheritance patterns in the offspring. By analyzing the resulting generations, Mendel aimed to determine if the traits were independent of each other or if they affected one another. His results led to the formulation of the law of independent assortment, establishing that the inheritance of one trait does not influence the inheritance of another.

Mendel conducted a dihybrid cross experiment by breeding pea plants that differed in both seed color (yellow vs. green) and seed shape (round vs. wrinkled). He started with true-breeding plants for each trait and then crossed them to observe the offspring. By analyzing the ratios of the phenotypes in the F2 generation, he determined that seed color and seed shape assort independently, demonstrating that these traits are inherited separately. This experiment laid the foundation for Mendel's laws of inheritance.

Make one with each. The baking powder will perform better.
Mendel removed the anthers from the pea plants to prevent self-pollination, as he wanted to control the pollen used for cross-pollination. By removing the anthers, he could ensure that only the desired pollen was used to fertilize the pistil of the plant. This allowed Mendel to accurately study the inheritance patterns of specific traits in his experiments.
