Identify the incorrect statement regarding experiments on Pisum sativum by Gregor Mendel?

1. He conducted hybridisation experiments on garden peas for seven years (1856-1863) and proposed the laws of inheritance in living organisms.
2. It was for the first time that statical analysis and mathematical logic were applied to problems in biology.
3. Unfortunately his experiments had a small sampling size, which gave less credibility to the data that he collected.
4. He investigated characters in the garden pea plant that were manifested as two opposing traits.
