Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The advantages of selecting Pea plant for the experiments by Mendel are:

• Pea plants have a short life cycle.

• They are easy to grow and need little care.

• They show several pairs of visible characters with contrasting traits.

• The Pea plants reproduce sexually, in nature, by self pollination.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mendel selected pea plants to carry out his study on the inheritance of characters from parents to offspring.  

He selected a pea plant because of the following features:

• Peas have many visible contrasting characters such as tall/dwarf plants, round/wrinkled seeds, green/yellow pod, purple/white flowers, etc.
• Peas have bisexual flowers and therefore undergo self pollination easily. Thus, pea plants produce offspring with same traits generation after generation.
• In pea plants, cross pollination can be easily achieved by emasculation in which the stamen of the flower is removed without affecting the pistil.
• Pea plants have a short life span and produce many seeds in one generation.
