alleles.
When Mendel refers to the statistical relations of different forms, he is discussing how variations in traits, or phenotypes, are inherited and occur in predictable ratios within populations. His experiments with pea plants demonstrated that traits segregate independently and can be quantified, leading to the formulation of fundamental principles of inheritance. These statistical relationships reveal how dominant and recessive traits interact, establishing the foundation for modern genetics.
Mendel created Punnett squares to determine how traits and their alleles are inherited together. This tool allowed him to predict the outcome of specific genetic crosses by showing the possible combinations of alleles from the parental gametes.
Gregor Mendel's concept of unit characters (or hereditary units) proposes that traits are determined by discrete units of inheritance that do not blend together. These units maintain their integrity through generations and are today known as genes. This idea forms the basis of classical genetics.
Mendel found that certain forms of genes were dominant to other forms of genes. This means that when an organism has two different forms of a gene, one form will be expressed over the other in determining the trait it controls.

All the traits that Mendel tested had clearly dominant forms.
All the traits that Mendel tested had clearly dominant forms.
Mendel observed round and oval seed shapes.
All the traits that Mendel tested had clearly dominant forms.
pea has many sharply ditinct traits each trait has two clear alternative forms e.gseed shap has round or wrinkled phenotype plant hieght was long or short seed colour was yellow or green Mendel called them pair of contrasting trait
Round (smooth) and wrinkled
definitely the monk Mendel with his plants. He discovered the idea of dominant versus recessive traits.
Mendel described two seed shapes among the pea seeds in his study: Smooth and Wrinkled.
