As a scientist
Starting with a single pair of traits, Mendel began his methodical pollinations. First, he pollinated round-seeded pea plants with pollen from wrinkle-seeded plants. All of the seeds produced were round. When he performed the reciprocal cross, that is, when he pollinated plants of wrinkled-seeded peas with pollen from round-seeded plants, the same results were observed -
