Verified step by step guidance1
Gregor Mendel chose pea plants for his genetic experiments due to several advantageous characteristics.
Firstly, pea plants have a short generation time, which allows Mendel to observe multiple generations in a relatively short period.
Secondly, pea plants exhibit distinct traits, such as flower color and seed shape, which are easily observable and can be categorized clearly.
Additionally, pea plants can be easily cross-pollinated, allowing Mendel to control the breeding process and study inheritance patterns.
These factors made pea plants an ideal choice for Mendel's experiments in understanding the principles of heredity.
