What are the reasons for success of Mendel’s experiment on pea plant.

Answer»
  • Mendel studied one or two characters at a time for his breeding experiment
  • He selected only those traits for his experiments which did not exhibit linkage or incomplete dominance.
  • He performed the reciprocal crosses to confirm the validity of the correct ratio.
  • He performed his experiment to F2 + F3 generation.
  • He selected true breeding varieties of pea plant for cross pollination.
  • He performed emasculation process to prevent self pollination.
  • He maintained complete records of all his ‘ experiments and used statistical method and law of probability for analysing his results.
  • He took great care in finding and choosing the true breeding plants genetically.
