Question

Name the plant on which Mendel worked.

Answer 1

Mendel worked with 7 different characteristics of pea plants. He focussed on the plant height, pod shape and color, seed shape and color, and flower position and color.

Mendel would take the seed color as an example and showed that when a true-breeding yellow pea and a true-breeding green pea were cross-bred their offspring always produced yellow seeds.
