Mention the advantages of selecting pea plant for experiment by Mendel.

Explanation

Mendal selected pea plant beaue of the following special features :
1. Garden peas were found to differ in certain definite and easily detectable traits.
2. The traits of each kind of pea plant were presented in generation after generation beacuse the plants and bisexual flowers and normally resorted to self pollination.
3. Artificial cross-pollination could be easily achieved by removing the stamens (emasculation).
4. Pea plants had a short life cycle.
5. Pea plants produced many seeds in one generation.
6. Mendel worked on only pure or true breeding trains, which means that a plant on self-pollination produces offspring with the same traits.
7. Pea plants having each of the seven characters hs selected were readily available.
