Why did Mendel study pea plants?
Mendel studied pea plants because they reproduced sexually and had traits that were easily observable.
What is the definition for "hypothesis"?
Before testing the pea plants, Mendel formed a five-part hypothesis. What did Mendel include in his hypothesis? Check all that apply.
Explain the difference between a theory and a law.
A law describes a consistent pattern in nature—what happens—while a theory explains how or why it happens. Both are supported by evidence.
Mendel studied pea plants for particular traits. When observing the results of his experiments, he created two laws of inheritance. How is a scientific law formed?
A scientific law is formed when repeated observations and experiments consistently reveal a pattern in nature.
Explain how the alleles were passed from parents to offspring.
Each parent passed one allele to the offspring. The Gg parent passed on G, and the gg parent passed on g, so the offspring had Gg and green pods.
