Mendel investigated characters in the garden pea plant that were manifested as two

When Mendel crossed a tall pea plant with a dwarf pea plant the offspring obtained from this cross were all tall.

Mention any two contrasting traits with respect to seeds in pea plant that were studied by Mendel.

Reasons for Mendel's success was. (i) His experiments had a large sampling size, thus greater credibility to the data collected. (ii) Use of statistical analysis and mathematical logic (iii) Considered many characters at a time. (iv) Results are confirmed on the successive generation of test plants.

What happened when Mendel crossed two traits of a character (say, tallness and dwarfness) in pea plants?
