Question

Flowers of the garden pea are bisexual and self-pollinated. Therefore, it is difficult to perform a hybridization experiment by crossing a particular pistil with the specific pollen grains. How Mendel made it possible in his monohybrid and dihybrid crosses?

Answer 1

As the garden pea is a self-pollinating plant the parent plant was emasculated to prevent self-pollination. The anthers were collected from the male parent and dusted on the female parent and the stigma was bagged.
