Final answer:
Mendel's pea plant was ideal for genetic study due to the high number of offspring, the ability to self and cross pollinate, and the short generation times.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mendel’s pea plant was ideal for genetic study for all of the following reasons: Each round of mating produces a high number of offspring, which allowed for statistical analysis. Pea plants can both self pollinate and cross pollinate, which allowed for the controlled breeding of different plants. Pea plants have short generation times, allowing for multiple generations to be observed in a relatively short period of time. (d) The genes he was studying were located on the same chromosomes is incorrect because Mendel's pea plants did not have knowledge of chromosomes, as that discovery came much later.
