He crossed different types of pea plants and studied their progeny. Through this he discovered a few things:

1. That each diploid organism possesses two alleles for any particular trait. The two alleles separate during meiosis in which gametes are formed. (Mendel's first law -- Principle of Segregation)

2. He discovered that alleles that are on different loci segregate independently of each other (Law of Independent Assortment -- Mendel's second law).

3.The concept of dominance was also demonstrated in his work. When an organism has a heterozygous genotype for a particular trait, the dominant allele will be its observed phenotype.
