The main reason why Mendel used a pea plant rather than anything else was because a pea plant had observable traits that could be easily recognized. Seven, in particular, he could manipulate in his experiment. Finally, he would cross-pollinate the peas and study each trait that passed on from one pea to another.

Best of Luck!
