What did mendel do to ensure that he had pure breeding plants for his experiments?
Dear student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query
Mendel performed normal breeding of pea plants and observed only single trait at one time. From the progeny of these plants, he selected only the plants that had the trait he was looking for. He bred them with each other (F1 x F1) and continued their self pollination for several generations until no other trait showed up. This ensured him that the pea plants were true breeding.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about the true-breeding pea plants.
