Gregor Mendel conducted experiments using pea plants to test his ideas on inheritance. He focused on specific traits, such as flower color and seed shape, and carefully cross-pollinated different varieties of peas. By analyzing the offspring of these crosses over multiple generations, he observed consistent patterns of inheritance, leading to the formulation of his laws of segregation and independent assortment, which laid the foundation for modern genetics.
