Gregor Mendel Here, giving you a scientific update. The year is 1863, and I am experimenting on pea plants to find out how in the world they all look similar, even in different generations. I chose pea plants because they are always one or the other. Green or Yellow pods, Smooth or wrinkled seed surfaces, purple or white flowers. The yellow pea pod is important because I know all of it's ancestors were yellow. I plan to cross it with a green pea pod with a similar background
