Dear student,

Such questions are made for enhancing the self creative skills and should be tried answering on your own. However, here are a few points that will help you in framing your 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 chacracteristics:

  1. plants were sexually reproducing with bisexual flowers
  2. self pollination and self fertilization is possible
  3. the life cycle was completed in one season
  4. hybrids were perfectly fertile
  5. many varieties with well-defined characters were available i.e. presence of seven pairs of contrasting or allelomorphic characters

You may feel free to contact us if you face any issue or difficulty while composing your answer. You can also send us your answers here for a feedback and required corrections, if any.
