What did Gregor Mendel study in relation to trait inheritance?

Patterns in the way traits are handed down from parents to offspring (correct)

The process of photosynthesis in pea plants

The role of chloroplasts in genetic variation

The structure of DNA in plants

How does plant genetics differ from animal genetics?

Plants inherit traits exclusively from one parent

What is a unique genetic ability that can make speciation easier in many plants?

Being exclusively asexual reproducers

Having a higher mutation rate than animals

Being well adapted to polyploidy (correct)

Having a simpler genetic code than animals
