Question

Mendel why did mendel choose garden pea plant for his experiment write two reasons

Answer 1

Gregor Mendel conducted hybridization experiments on around 29,000 pea plants. Peas were an idealchoice for Mendel to use because theyhad easily observable traits there were7 of which he could manipulate. He began his experiments on peas withtwo conditions.

Answer 2

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
