The reason for the selection of pea plants for the genetic experiments are

Easy to grow in the garden.
The flowers of pea plants are hermaphrodite, i.e flowers have bisexual characteristics.
Easy to obtain pure breed plant through self-fertilization
The generation time of pea plants is less.
They have excellent disease resistance and have an optimal rate of survival.
