STAY BLESSED
Gregor 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 characteristics:-
plants were sexually reproducing with bisexual flowers
self-pollination and self-fertilization is possible
the life cycle was completed in one season
hybrids were perfectly fertile
many varieties with well-defined characters were available i.e. presence of seven pairs of contrasting or allelomorphic characters
