(Problem 1) Why was Mendel\'s approach to the study of heredity so successful?

A. He chose to work with a plant that was easy to cultivate, grew relatively rapidly, and produced many offspring whose phenotype was easy to determine. B. The seven characteristics he chose to study were important because they exhibited only a few distinct phenotypes and did not show a range of variation. C. By looking at each trait separately and counting the numbers of the different phenotypes, he was able to detect mathematical ratios of progeny phenotypes. D. He adopted an experimental approach and applied the scientific method. From his observations, he proposed hypotheses that he was then able to test empirically. E. All of the above
