3. Mendel used only seven different characteristics in his research.
4. One characteristic was dominant and the other was recessive in each contrasted character.
5. The characteristic of tallness, for example, predominates over the trait of dwarfism.
6. The dominant allele controls the dominant characteristic of any character.
7. When a dominant allele is present, no recessive allele can function.
8. As a result, only the dominant characteristic is noticed.
9. Mendel picked only characters who were diametrically opposed to one another.
10. A plant's height may be classified into two types: tall and dwarf.
