How did the way Gregor Mendel grew up influence why he used pea plants as a way to understand how traits were inherited in all living things?

Answer:

To study genetics, Mendel chose to work with pea plants because:

  • they have easily identifiable traits.
  • they can either self-pollinate or be cross-pollinated.
  • pea plants even growth faster.
  • they are easier to maintain.
  • they can be easily produced.
