Mendel chose the pea plant (Pisum sativum) for his experiments due to its distinct and easily observable traits, such as flower color and seed shape. Pea plants also have a relatively short generation time, allowing for quick observation of inheritance patterns across multiple generations. Additionally, they can self-pollinate or be cross-pollinated, giving Mendel control over their breeding and facilitating his studies on heredity.

How did Gregor Mendel contribute to your understanding of inheritance?

Gregor Mendel took two different colored pea plants: one had traits for white plants and the other had traits for a red plant. When Mendel cross bred the two plants, a plant with traits for a pink plant grew. This is how Mendel contributed to the understanding of inherited traits.
