- Mendel, the father of genetics, was a careful researcher who studied the inheritance of certain traits in garden peas. Which of the following was NOT part of Mendel's research strategies? A.) He crossed true-breeding (self pollinating) pea plants. B.) He allowed eggs to be fertilized ONLY by self pollination. C.) He analyzed his data mathematically. B.)
