One reason for the success of Mendel's work is that he
was the first to carry out research work on modern genetics
introduced quantitative and qualitative elements into his work
selected two characteristics only at a time for study
drew up his laws of inheritance based on his knowledge of chromosomes
Açıklama
Mendel's work was successful due to his methodical approach, focusing on single traits, using controlled crosses, and employing mathematical analysis to analyze his results, which allowed him to formulate the laws of inheritance. He took one or two characters, he formulated theoretical explanations for the interpretation of his results. He used statistical methods and laws of probability to analyze the results.
