Cycle 5 lecture 10 outcomes (reading 10. 1 10. 2 11. 2) Characteristics of mendel"s work that set him apart as a genetic researcher. Mendel"s methods illustrate how rigorous scientific work is conducted: through observation, making hypotheses, and testing the hypotheses with experiments. Although others had studied inheritance patterns before him, mendel"s most important innovation was his quantitative approach to science, specifically his rigour and statistical analysis in an era when qualitative, purely descriptive science was the accepted practice. Experimental aspect of mendel"s approach to explaining inheritance. Mendel chose the garden pea for his research because the plant could be grown easily in the monastery garden, without elaborate equipment. As in other flowering plants, gametes are produced in structures of the flowers. The male gametes are sperm nuclei contained in the pollen, which is produced in the anthers of the flower. The female gametes are egg cells, produced in the carpel of the flowers.
