A. Mendel's investigated pea plants to establish how the structure of DNA determines rules of genetic replication. This enabled the modern boom in genetic engineering.
B. Mendel's studies of pea flowers were the first to establish a link between scent and specific genes. This enabled him to apply the principles of population genetics to the ornamental plant industry.
C. Mendel's studies of peas were the first to establish a link between taste and specific genes. This enabled him to apply the principles of population genetics to the food industry.
D. Mendel's experiments on peas showed how traits were inherited in varying ratios that were different depending on the trait. From this he was able to deduce rules of inheritance.
E. Mendel's studies of peas showed that characteristics were passed on in predictable ratios. This enabled him to establish rules of inheritance.
