What is heredity and variation ? Why did Mendel select garden pea plant to conduct his genetics experiment?
Answers
Answer:
because of 7 contrasting features
heridity is the transmission of genetic characters from parents to offspring or one generation to another.
variation is the difference present in morphological ,physiological and other traits found among individuals belonging to the same family,race, and species.
Mendel choose Garden pea or edible pea( pisum sativum ) as his experimental material because of
1. easy availability of detectable contrasting traits of several characters.
2. flower structure normally allows self fertilization but cross fertilization can also be carried out easily.
3. formation of a large number of seeds by each plant.
4. requirement of little care except the time of cross breeding.
5. it can be grown throughout the year.
