Question

why did Mendel select pea plant for conducting his experiment on inheritance

Answer 1

hey... here's ur answer...!!

mendal selected only pea plant for conducting experiments... Due to following reasons!!


1. It is annual plant and complete it's life cycle within 3-4 months.
due to this he could grow generation in the year.

2. it is a small herbaceous plants that can produce many seeds.


3. it is naturally self pollinating plant.


4. flowers are easy of emasculation of artificial cross.


HOPE IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL }:-)

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
