Gregor Mendel believed that genes followed “natural laws” and could be expressed in simple mathematical terms (Brooker 19). He was mostly intrigued by how genes varied as they pass from generation to generation (Brooker 18). Mendel decided to test his mathematical hypothesis using pea plants since they came “in several varieties‚ which varied in height and in the appearance of their flowers‚ seeds‚ and pods‚” (Brooker 19). He also decided to use self-fertilization and cross-fertilization to see which
