The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Question**: The question asks which plant Mendel conducted his hybridization experiments on. 2. **Review the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Pigeon pea - B) Garden pea - C) Wild pea - D) Sweet pea 3. **Recall Mendel's Work**: Mendel is known for his foundational work in genetics, particularly through his experiments with plants. 4. **Determine the Correct Answer**: Mendel conducted his hybridization experiments primarily on the garden pea (Pisum sativum). Therefore, the correct answer is option B) Garden pea. 5. **Explain Why Mendel Chose Garden Pea**: - **Ease of Cultivation**: The garden pea is easy to grow and requires low maintenance. - **Short Generation Time**: The garden pea has a short generation time, allowing Mendel to observe multiple generations in a relatively short period. - **Hermaphroditic Flowers**: The flowers of the garden pea are hermaphrodite (bisexual), which means they have both male and female reproductive organs, facilitating self-fertilization and controlled cross-fertilization. 6. **Conclude the Answer**: Based on the reasons outlined, Mendel's choice of the garden pea was strategic for conducting his hybridization experiments effectively. **Final Answer**: Mendel conducted hybridization experiments on the garden pea (option B). ---
