Mendel wanted to find out if the pattern of inheritance for one trait affected the pattern of inheritance for anther. What experiment did he perform to test this idea?
He tested the seed color and shape. At the same time Gregor Mendel focused his search on seed size, flower color, seed coat color, pod size, immature pod color, flower position and pea plant height.
To describe the results he drew, he coined the terms 'recessive' and 'dominant'.
