Question
why did gregor mendel use peas in his experiments? peas grow very slowly. pea reproduction cannot be controlled. peas normally produce very few offspring. peas have characteristics that have two forms.
Mendel needed traits that were clearly distinguishable. Peas have characteristics like tall - short stems, yellow - green seeds etc. which come in two distinct forms, making it easy to study inheritance patterns. The other options are incorrect as peas grow relatively fast, their reproduction can be controlled, and they produce many offspring.
