Gregor mendel used pea plants to study what?

Genetics. Inheriting which genes, such as wrinkled or smooth peas.

Inheritance of characters from one generation to the other.

Mendel used pea plants to investigate what happens when plants differing in any set of characteristics are cross pollinated or hybridized. He chose pea plants because they naturally occur in or around the monastery where he was the abbot, he is familiar with their culture, and because they have diverse types such as smooth and wrinkled seeds, and short and tall stature, etc. He didn't know it then, it was only later that authorities learned that the inheritance of these characteristics in garden pea is governed by single gene pair and complete dominance is the rule where the factor which controls certain character, i.e. Smooth, masks the other opposing character, i.e.

Wrinkled seed. Nevertheless, he was able to formulate the "now called" Mendelian principles of Segregation and Independent Assortment. That his choice of garden was out of pure luck is evidenced by his use of for the purpose of duplicating his results in garden pea.

Unfortunately, eracium is an apomictic species in which seeds are produced maternally (no fertilization) so that all offsprings are duplicates of the maternal parent. It's probably the main reason why his conclusions with garden pea were rejected by the scientific community. Until about 40 years after his paper was presented at which time he was already deceased.

S study has become the basis of "Genetics" and he is now considered as the Father of Genetics.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
