Question

Why gregor johann mendel selected pea plant for his experimental work?

Answer 1

Answer:

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.
