Question
Discuss any two points due to which Mendel got success in his experiment?
✓
Answer
Following are the reasons for Mendel’s success:
- His experiments were carefully planned and involved a large sample.
- He carefully recorded the number of plants of each type and expressed his results as ratios.
- In the pea plant, contrasting characters can be easily recognized.
- The seven different characters in the pea plant were controlled by a single factor each.
- The factors are located on separate chromosomes and these factors are transmitted from generation to generation.
