So basically at the heart of this question is why did mendel choose this garden pea plant? and then it's also asking to say, like, hey, can this be repeated in humans based on what we discuss? so the first one is that they were very limited traits.
00:21
In fact, you only observe seven of them.
00:24
They're also very fast growing.
00:28
You can observe multiple generations in this very short amount of time.
00:32
They're also easy to raise.
00:37
So it's not like you had to put an intense amount of care into dealing with these different pea plants.
00:45
Now, humans.
00:46
Humans are not going to be very good for mendel's experiments.
00:53
They actually counteract every single one of those points.
00:59
The reason why mendel chose them.
01:01
So first, humans have a lot of different traits...
