Answer:

Credibility and precision of his results.

Step-by-step explanation:

By using so many plants, Mendel made sure that his results were credible and that his genetic trait ratios between the plants were consistent and precise. Using a large number of subjects reduces the chances of having outliers in the data set.

Answer:

It makes his results more reliable because if he is using many pea plants, then it is more likely that he is right if most of the plants are one result.
