3. Mendel’s Pea Plant Experiments
Why Mendel Choose the Pea Plant?
Can be grown in a small area.
Produce lots of offspring .
Produce pure plants when allowed to self-pollinate several generations .
Can be artificially cross-pollinated.

4. Mendel’s Pea Plant Experiments
Mendel's peas typically had 2 seed shapes:
round and wrinkled.
Mendel produced this experiment by breeding different types of peas together to see which traits were passed to the offspring.
Breeding and tracing traits is known as hybridization.

5. Mendel made crosses between true-breeding, self-fertilizing plants; He followed the inheritance of distinctive traits in the offspring and kept quantitative records .

6. Main Theory
Mendel had a theory that was comprised of three basic laws; these laws pertained to traits, characteristics, and heredity.

7. Mendel’s First Law
“Sex cells of a plant may contain two different traits, but not both of those traits.”
Mendel’s Second Law
Characteristics are inherited independently from another (the basis for recessive and dominant gene composition).
Mendel’s Third Law
Each inherited characteristic is determined by two hereditary factors (known more recently as genes), one from each parent, which decides whether a gene is dominant or recessive.
