MENDEL chose a common garden pea (Pisum) for his first experiments in hybridisation. These plants exhibited what are now called Mendelian Traits - traits which occur in a very simple form. A simple trait in an organism is one which occurs either in one variation or another, with no in-between. The seven traits that Mendel studied in the peas were:
Ceylon tea is a particularly prized form of black tea from Sri Lanka. It has a golden color and rich, intense flavor which many tea consumers greatly appreciate, and it is used straight as well as in tea blends.ri Lanka is one of the largest tea producers in the world, and Ceylon tea can be found all over the world as a result.

1 Hot barley water is often served with a spoon and cold barley water with a straw so that the soft-boiled grains can be eaten. 2  Roasted barley tea is also a popular East Asian drink, but the taste and texture are very different from barley water. It was used at the climax of the Eleusinian Mysteries to break a sacred fast, but it was also a favourite drink of Greek peasants. 2  The British version is made by boiling washed pearl barley, straining, then pouring the hot water over the rind and/or pulp of a lemon, and adding fruit juice and sugar to taste.
