why did mendel use pea plants in his experiments?

a. they have no alleles.
b. they are haploid organisms.
c. they reproduce quickly.
d. they are all male.

Explanation:

Mendel used pea plants in his experiments for several reasons. Pea plants reproduce quickly, which allows for multiple generations to be studied in a relatively short time. This is crucial for observing inheritance patterns. Pea plants have alleles (contradicting option A), are diploid (not haploid, so option B is wrong), and have both male and female reproductive parts (so option D is incorrect).

Answer:

C. They reproduce quickly.
