Which descriptions apply to Mendel’s pea plant experiments? Select three options. studied first generation plants onlyrelied on random pollination and reproduction of plantsused cross breeding to purposely breed plantsstudied a variety of pea plant traitsfocused primarily on breeding larger, healthier pea plantsstudied several generations of plants
Answer
A
studied first generation plants only
B
relied on random pollination and reproduction of plants
C
used cross breeding to purposely breed plants
D
studied a variety of pea plant traits
E
focused primarily on breeding larger, healthier pea plants
F
studied several generations of plants
Explanation
Mendel deliberately crossbred pea plants with different traits, such as tall and short stems, to observe how traits were inherited. He studied several different traits and followed them across multiple generations, including the first and later generations. He did not rely on random pollination or focus on producing larger, healthier plants.
