Solution
He had studied mathematics and probability
Explanation:
Mendel’s background included study in science and mathematics, which provided him with the necessary tools to apply statistical methods and laws of probability to analyze his breeding experiments. This mathematical approach enabled him to discern the patterns of inheritance clearly and formulate the foundational laws of genetics. His use of probability in analyzing progeny ratios distinguished his work and led to his success in discovering the laws of inheritance.
