Why did Mendel use cross-pollination in his experiments?

• to speed up self-pollination

• to control which plants pollinated other plants

• to make sure dominant factors were always produced

What did Mendel conclude about inherited traits?

• One factor controls each inherited trait.

• Two factors control each inherited trait.

• Multiple factors control each inherited trait.
