1. I didn\'t know Mendel bred his plants to the F6 generation - what do you think about the work that would have gone into running so many generations? Solution The reason behind the Mendel and his peas experiment gone into so many generations because Mendel just wanted to find out an answer for how a particular trait like seed coat or colour is getting transmitted and inherited across generations because he can\'t assume the transmission been a random event. For example if a trait skips a generation and expresses in the next showing the inheritance. Also studies says he presented around 30,000 pea plants in his decade long findings in the society, No wonder he bred his plants upto F6 generations which he arrived with so much statistical data and the path breaking discovery in Genetics..
