Detailed explanation-1: -Mendel carried out his key experiments using the garden pea, Pisum sativum, as a model system. Pea plants make a convenient system for studies of inheritance, and they are still studied by some geneticists today.
Detailed explanation-2: -In this famous experiment, Mendel purposefully cross-pollinated pea plants based on their different features to make important discoveries on how traits are inherited between generations.
Detailed explanation-3: -In this experiment, Mendel took two pea plants of opposite traits (one short and one tall) and crossed them. He found the first generation offspring were tall and called it F1 progeny. Then he crossed F1 progeny and obtained both tall and short plants in the ratio 3:1.
