Question

Why Mendel used a pea plant in your experiment?

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.

Answer 2

1)Many variaties were available having constrasting traits

2)peas are usually self pollinated because pea flower is bisectual

3) self pollination could be prevented by removing corresponding reproductive part of flower

4) Reproductive span of pea plant is very small and 2 crops can be produced in one year.
