Question

Why did Gregor Mendel use peas in his experiments?

Answer 1

pea plants were easily available and accessible at that time...thus George preferred using peas also peas grow faster .....

Answer 2

Mendel picked common garden pea plants for the focus of his research because they can be grown easily in large numbers and their reproduction can be manipulated. Pea plants have both male and female reproductive organs. As a result, they can either self-pollinate themselves or cross-pollinate with another plant.
