This drawing illustrates Mendel's "Experiment 1", in which he demonstrated his concept of heredity in the mating of pea plants. Mendel suspected that heredity depended on contributions from both parents and that specific characteristics from each parent were passed on, rather than being blended together in the offspring.

Mendel then explains the concept of dominant and recessive alleles by saying, “By performing my experiments with peas, I learned a lot about genetics and how traits are passed on. I noticed that sometimes offspring seem to have traits that their parents did not show.

For his Experiments, Mendel chose pea plants because they had some distinctive measurable traits and being easy to breed with a short breeding period - some cultivars reach maturity about 60 days after planting. He measured seven pea characteristics:

The anticipation was that wild males and females alike carry the factor for red eyes, but the experiments showed that all wild males are heterozygous for red eyes, and that all the wild females are homozygous.

Mendel started by observing pea plants. These were ideal for his experiments because the seven traits he observed were opposite with no in-between characteristics. The seven traits were:
