What did Mendel use to control which plants mated with each other? Selective pruning square Temperature Using different soil types Removing the stamens

Mendel used the process of removing the stamens to control which plants mated with each other. This technique is known as emasculation or hand pollination. By removing the male reproductive parts (stamens) of one plant, Mendel ensured that the plant could only be fertilized by the pollen from another specific plant. This allowed him to control the parentage of the offspring and study the inheritance of traits.
