Mendel used over 28000 pea plants in his experiment. how does this large sample size make his results more reliable?

Mendel used large sample size in his experiments to establish the inheritance rules of nature as he studied different characters of pea plants and used mathematical models and formulas like probability methods and punnet square method for the mono and di-hybrid crosses.

The large sample size helped him evaluating his principles as:

1. large sample size provided a more accurate mean value  

2. study the outliers or the data which can affect the data in a small sample

3. provided a small margin of error.

Since he applied mathematical methods in identifying and establishing the rules he required a large sample size to study.

atp is used for energy.

the solute can move "downhill," from regions of higher to lower concentration, relying on the specificity of the protein carrier to pass through the membrane. this process is called passive transport or facilitated diffusion, and does not require energy.
