Detailed explanation-1: -Peas can also be cross-pollinated by hand, simply by opening the flower buds to remove their pollen-producing stamen (and prevent self-pollination) and dusting pollen from one plant onto the stigma of another. To cross-pollinate peas, pollen from the stamen of 1 plant is transferred to the stigma of another.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Mendel’s cross-pollination of pea plants proved that genes of two separate organisms are passed to their offspring.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mendel worked with pea plants, which are usually (cross-pollinating / self-pollinating). When he transferred pollen from one pea plant to another, he was (cross-pollinating / self-pollinating) the pea plants to (fertilize / segregate) the eggs and form embryos within a seed.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mendel was interested in the offspring of two different parent plants, so he had to prevent self-pollination. He removed the anthers from the flowers of some of the plants in his experiments. Then he pollinated them by hand with pollen from other parent plants of his choice.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mendel selected several specific pea traits and performed cross-pollination or artificial pollination in pea lines with stable trait inheritance that were continuously self-pollinating.
