Smart man, greatly admired!
Early years
Successes
1. He is a gifted child
2. He was sent to a boarding school in germany
Struggles
Family was poor
No one helped him and couldn’t pass every science exam
Experimental Design
Experimental Design Description: How peas passed on their traits. Gregor Mendel crossed different types of peas. Some were purebred some were not.
Facts/examples:
Studied pea plants
2. He looked at there seed shape, pod color, and stem length.
Data
Specific Data
When he crossed yellow and green seeds he got yellow seeds as the outcome.
Then he combined two yellow seeds and the outcome was a mix of green and yellow.
Studies show that the yellow seeds were more dominant than the green peas. 6,022 yellow and 2,001 green peas.
Reactions
Scientists Reactions: They were confused and thought that he just did the hybrid thing.
Foundation
He used seeds from peas to see how they passed on their traits.
