Gregor Mendel the famous scientist who experimented with pea plants to get a better understanding of genetics. As much work he did with pea plants he was also a botanist. His observation became the root of the study of heredity. His work showed that genes in pea plants follow certain patterns. Like all experiments Mendel had to have a hypothesis, the experiment and the results. Gregor Mendel experimented with genetics to understand why offspring look the way they did. He started his experiments using pea plants because they are commonly and easily grown, they also produce a lot of offspring. Pea plants have a set of genetics that remain unchanged from generation to generation. Mendel wanted to see if he could change that. He also wanted to
