hello friend...!!
mendel choose garden pea plant for his experiment because,
⇒ garden pea flowers are normally self pollinated , but can easily be cross- pollinated .
⇒garden pea had many varieties with distinguished contrasting characters .
Example : tall and dwarf , smooth and wrinkled etc.
⇒a large number of progeny will be produced within short duration of time .
⇒the flowers of garden pea plant can easily be handled for experiments .

hope it is useful...!!

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
