Question

Which one from those given below is the period for Mendel's hybridization experiments?

• A. 1856-1863
• B. 1840-1850
• C. 1857-1869
• D. 1870-1877

Answer 1

The correct option is A

1856-1863

The correct option is option A.

Explanation of correct option:

1. For many generations, Mendel utilized pea plants that expressed only one physical characteristic within a lineage, such as a specific pod color or seed shape.
2. He then crossed those plants with plants from a separate lineage that had for many generations shown a distinct morphological trait.
3. Gregor Mendel's research with peas demonstrated that heredity is passed down in discrete units.
4. People have long noted similarities between parents and offspring, as well as between animals and plants and human families.
5. From 1856 to 1863, Gregor Mendel conducted a hybridization experiment on garden peas and suggested the rules of inheritance in living organisms.
6. Mendel's findings were based on statistical analysis and mathematical logic.
7. He kept accurate and true records of his research, detailing the number and type of participants, which is required in genetic investigations.
8. Mendel tested hundreds of plants for the same attribute, such as height, and received hundreds of progeny.
9. His findings were validated by large sample size.

Final answer: 1856 to 1863 is the period for Mendel's hybridization experiments
