Question
what is one of the reasons why gregor mendel chose to study pea plants? they exhibit only a single trait. they produce flowers. they grow very slowly. they reproduce sexually.
Mendel needed organisms that could reproduce sexually to study inheritance patterns. Pea plants reproduce sexually, allowing for cross - breeding and the observation of trait inheritance. Pea plants have multiple traits (not a single trait), many plants produce flowers (not a unique reason for Mendel's choice), and they do not grow very slowly (they have a relatively short generation time which was an advantage for Mendel).
