Gregor Mendel chose pea plants for his experiments because they are easy to raise, have many offspring per mating, can fertilize themselves and have varieties in genotype and phenotype that are easily observable. These characteristics make pea plants ideal in the study of genetics and heredity.
- Easy to grow in a range of climates.
- Relatively fast generation time.
- Variable in easily scored traits (flower colour, hairs, pod morphology).
- Easy to control pollination and hand-pollinate.
- Self-fertile, so that through inbreeding, lines can be developed that are genetically homogenous for particular traits.
