Mendel chose the pea plants for his experiments because the garden pea is an ideal subject in the study of genetics for the following reasons:
-- presence of observable traits with contrasting forms
-- produces many offspring in one cross
-- short life cycle
-- ease in manipulating pollination (cross pollination)
Pea plants had the following chacracteristics:
plants were sexually reproducing with bisexual flowersself pollination and self fertilization is possiblethe life cycle was completed in one seasonhybrids were perfectly fertilemany varieties with well-defined characters were available i.e. presence of seven pairs of contrasting or allelomorphic characters
-- presence of observable traits with contrasting forms
-- produces many offspring in one cross
