◘ Mendel conducted such artificial pollination / cross pollination experiments using several true-breeding pea lines. ◘ A true-breeding line is one that, having undergone continuous self-pollination, shows the stable trait inheritance and expression for several generations. ◘ Mendel selected 14 true-breeding pea plant varieties, as pairs. ◘ Some of the contrasting traits selected were smooth or wrinkled seeds, yellow or green seeds, inflated (full) or constricted green or yellow pods and tall or dwarf plants
