Question

Why did Mendel select pea plant to conduct his genetics experiment

Answer 1

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:

plants were sexually reproducing with bisexual flowers

self-pollination and self-fertilization is possible

the life cycle was completed in one season
