What Mendel did according to the illustration would be called test-crossing.
<h3>Test-crossing</h3>
In genetics, test crossing is a procedure through which the zygosity of an individual can be determined - whether it is homzygous or heterozygous.
Test crossing requires that an organism who displays a dominant trait but whose zygosity is unknown is crossed with another organism of the same species but who displays the recessive version of the same trait.
By so doing and using the knowledge of probability, the resulting offspring from the cross will be used to determine the zygosity level of the parent.

Answer: Mosses retain soil humidity and prevents its degradation, besides are habitat for little invertebrates.
Explanation: Mosses are non-vascular plants (they don't have conductive vessels as xylem and phloem) that live places as tree trunks, rocks, walls and soils. This habitats must be humids because mosses need water for nutrient transport, because they don't have cuticle (prevents water lost) and for fertilization. Mosses are important for the ecosistems where they live because retain water in the soils thus prevent erosion and harbor invertebrates as Tardigrades (water bears).
