Answer:

Geregor 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.

These are the reasons so Mendel choose pea plant for his experiment:

  • Easy to grow.
  • Short lifespan.
  • Easily Disinguishable characters.
  • Larger size of flower.
  • Self pollinated.
