Mendel investigates stem length, or height in pea plants what if he had investigated human height instead why would his results have been harder to interpret

Human height is one of the traits that belong to traits that cannot easily be placed in discrete phenotypic classes (there is not only tall and short people, there is continuous variation of height between them). Such traits are usually controlled by more than one gene (polygenic traits).

On the other hand, a Mendelian trait is controlled by a single locus.

Mendel's results would be different because human height is a quantitative character.

What are quantitative traits?

Quantitative traits are phenotypic observable characteristics controlled by many genes and the influence of the environment.

  • Quantitative characters include, for example, height, weight, etc.

  • Seed color studied by Mendel in pea plants is a discrete trait influenced by a few genes.

In conclusion, Mendel's results would be different because human height is a quantitative character.
