Some basic principles of heredity were established by Gregor Mendel. In his experiments, he crossed large numbers of pea plants and then:

AMapped the location of various genes
BAnalyzed the mathematical ratios of certain traits in the offspring
CDissected the chromosome of the offspring
DDetermined how many genes had mutated

Verified Answer :

D, he determined them, he used a green pea, actually, and then some of them cross-pollinated into yellow, so some peas were yellow, and then green, and some smooth, and some wrinkly.

Answer:

B) Analyzed the mathematical ratios of certain traits in the offspring

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel used the pea plant to study the pattern of inheritance in living organisms.

He started by studying the inheritance pattern of a single trait and then analysed the phenotypic ratio of the resulting offspring (which ends up as 3:1). He then formulated the first law of genetics (known as law of segregation).

He also study the inheritance pattern of multiple genes and through mathematical analysis of the phenotypes (9:3:3:1), he formulated the second law of genetics, also known as the law of independent assortment of genes.

The correct option is B.
